The Passenger with Hugh Acheson

What I've Been Up To Under COVID-19 And Putting The Passenger On Pause

Hey there, fellow passengers. Thought I should give you all an update on what's going on with me, with the show, and with the world. Since March 15, I shuttered my restaurants and recalibrated them to serve 7,000 meals a week to those in need, both emergency workers and underserved communities. So that has kept me busy. I'm not traveling, obviously, and so a travel show is not, shall we say, pertinent to the current state of the world. So for the time being, I'm going to focus on doing the good that I can do, and we'll be hitting "pause" on The Passenger for right now. We'll be back. Until then, take care of yourselves, take care of each other, and wash your hands. If you want to keep up, follow me @hughacheson on Twitter and Insta. Thanks for listening.

Driven by cultural curiosity, celebrity chef Hugh Acheson is a globetrotter who travels the world for his acclaimed cooking and his television appearances, and he knows the best way to understand a destination starts with a good meal. This new travel podcast takes listeners off the beaten path with Hugh’s opinionated anecdotes and insights on where to go, what to eat, who to meet, what to do, where to stay – as well as what overrated tourist experiences to avoid. Episodes focus on a single destination, be it Havana, Cuba or Cincinnati, Ohio, and dig into its unique culture through food, music, literature and cinema. There’s narrative storytelling, interviews, and a whole lot of exploration.
