One of the keys to Growing Bolder is having a spirit of adventure, but it’s not always easy to hit the road or do a lot of traveling. Taylor Hicks — yes, the American Idol winner — wants to take you on a VIRTUAL tour of America, highlighting each state’s best plate of food. State Plate features crab cakes in Maryland, peaches in Georgia, chili in Texas, potatoes in Idaho and much more. Plus, you’ll meet the people behind the plates as Taylor visits farms, ranches, markets and festivals to uncover the stories of ordinary people pursuing extraordinary lives. We spoke with Taylor about the show, some of the surprises in store and much more!

Tune into INSP for the first episode of State Plate Friday, October 21 at 9pmET. Learn much more, see video and photo galleries and look ahead at the schedule at http://www.insp.com/shows/state-plate/.
