Join celebrity chef Paul Hollywood (THE GREAT BRITISH BAKING SHOW) as he indulges in three of his greatest passions – bikes, movies, and baking – as he hits the road on an epic American adventure. PAUL HOLLYWOOD GOES TO HOLLYWOOD follows Paul as he journeys from New York to Los Angeles riding a customized Harley Davidson.
Throughout this part-travelogue, part-pilgrimage, he explores the connection between film and food, and is joined by celebrities along the way. Traveling across iconic landmarks such as the Brooklyn Bridge, crossing the swamplands of the South or navigating the sun-beaten plains of the Wild West, the Hollywood-bound biker puts in some serious miles as he undertakes this ambitious odyssey to pay homage to some of the greatest screen culinary moments of the century.
Paul begins on the East Coast in New York and heads west to ultimately arrive at the movie mecca of the world: Hollywood. Of course, it goes without saying he’ll be doing a bit of baking along the 3,000+ mile journey. Celebrity guests include: Brian Cox (SUCCESSION), Teri Hatcher (DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES) and Lisa Kudrow (FRIENDS).
