Five Delicious Years of Eat Your Heartland Out !
A Midwestern girl at heart, Eat Your Heartland Out is Capri’s homage to the people, places, and traditions that shaped her roots.
For Capri Cafaro, food is the storyteller.
Across 99 episodes, she’s spotlighted the voices and foodways that define midwestern culture —from small-town bakers to James Beard Award winners.
Before stepping behind the mic, Capri served in the Ohio Senate, where she advocated for health care access and vulnerable communities—a passion that continues to shape her storytelling.
This year, Capri was nominated for a James Beard Award for her TV travel show America the Bountiful, which takes viewers on weekly journeys through the food, culture, and traditions of the Midwest.
Through it all, Eat Your Heartland Out has remained true to its mission: sharing the voices, flavors, and stories that make America’s heartland so special!
We’re honored to be part of this journey.
Here’s to five years—and many more to come!
