Tastemade and Pepsi are teaming up to bring back a fan-favorite food series that celebrates the local restaurants putting their cities on the map. The third season of Worth the Hype stars Emmy-winning chef Frankie Celenza as he hits the road to sample the most buzzworthy bites across the country, including stops right here in New Jersey.

The new season shines a national spotlight on locally loved restaurants, highlighting the food, people, and stories that define their neighborhoods. To talk more about what viewers can expect, and why supporting local eateries matters is Andrew Christianson, Director of Operations at Blu on the Hudson.
