AUSTIN, Texas — CBS Austin’s new YouTube food series is setting its sights on the restaurants, kitchens and culinary traditions that have shaped Central Texas.

“ATX Eats,” hosted by Jahmal Kennedy, launches with a mission to go beyond reviews and menus to explore the heritage, family history and culture that drive the region’s food scene. New episodes are scheduled to drop on Wednesdays.

“This isn’t just about what’s on the plate,” Kennedy says. “It’s about heritage, hustle, family, risk, tradition.”

The series promises to spotlight both well-known establishments and lesser-known neighborhood spots, with a focus on uncovering “hidden gems” alongside familiar places.

“Central Texas has flavor. It has history. It has heart,” Kennedy says. “And we’re bringing you all of it.”
