Pass the Plate is a multicultural short-form series filmed in ten countries that was produced by Riverstreet Productions in association with Disney Channel.[1] Hosted by Brenda Song, the first season of the series included various other Disney Channel performers from all around the world.[2][3] Season 2, which debuted on November 1, 2013, was co-hosted by Peyton List and Karan Brar.[4] The third season, also hosted by List and Brar, premiered in its entirety on November 8, 2014.[5]
Rotating on-air each day, Pass the Plate "aims to inspire kids and preteens to lead a healthier lifestyle by sharing cultural and historical facts about food and cooking, while giving emphasis to kids assisting in the preparation of their own meal." Each of the segments focuses on the exposition, preparation and health benefits of one food item – mangoes, rice, fish, tomatoes, bananas, grains, vegetables, fruits, and spinach – and takes viewers across the globe on a tour of how these foods are enjoyed by kids and families in each country.[6]
