PBS Distribution announced today it is releasing “A CHEF’S LIFE HOLIDAY SPECIAL” on DVD November 3, 2015. This holiday season, the popular series A Chef’s Life invites viewers on a journey to discover and rediscover holiday traditions. Chef Vivian Howard hosts a holiday to remember at her home in Eastern North Carolina as she creates a Southern holiday feast steeped in her family’s Christmas and Chanukah traditions.
Having spent most of her adult life in the kitchens of highly-lauded restaurants, Vivian has rarely celebrated the holidays during busy Decembers. This year, she and her husband Ben Knight are determined to give their toddler twins a traditional holiday experience, cooking, laughing, and yes, crying their way through Southern traditions new and old. In the program Vivian discovers that mistletoe is traditionally shot out of a pecan tree, experiences her first hog killing, and leads a “tacky Christmas sweater” night with the restaurant staff at Chef and the Farmer.
“A CHEF’S LIFE HOLIDAY SPECIAL” will be available on DVD November 3, 2015. The run time of this program is approximately 60 minutes and its SRP is $24.99. The program will also be available for digital download.
