FOUR WEEKENDS. FOUR COUNTRIES. FOUR TRADITIONS.
Autumn is a season of harvest and abundance, a time to give thanks, celebrate the gifts of the land, and gather around the table with family and friends.
Around the world, cultures have marked this season for generations with traditions that honor the harvest, remember those who came before us, and celebrate the simple joy of sharing a meal.
Throughout November, Traveler’s Table celebrates four of these traditions from Mexico, Italy, South Korea, and Germany, with comforting regional dishes, traditional beverages, and the stories that make them meaningful.
