Cottonseed oil to make history! The History Channel, that is.
The makers of “Modern Marvels” are cooking up a delicious new food show, “Food Tech,” airing this summer. On behalf of client National Cottonseed Products Association, Harvest PR recently worked with the show’s host Bobby Bognar and film crew to help produce one of the ten episodes slated for the show’s first season. Titled “Southern Fried,” the episode begins in a restaurant – on a plate of quintessential Southern fried cuisine (fried in cottonseed oil, of course). Host Bognar, a former chef and self proclaimed “food nerd,” then deconstructs the dishes, skillfully bringing viewers on an adventurous farm-to-plate journey. One of the featured ingredients in the episode, cottonseed oil, is revered for its high smoke point and neutral flavor, which enhances – never masks – the flavor of foods. Stay tuned for those air dates!
