The Hairy Bikers (aka Si King and Dave Myers) are about to embark on their biggest road trip to date: America’s Route 66, spanning over 2,000 miles from Chicago to California. The celebrity cooks will motor through eight different states, all with their own distinct landscapes, history, flavours and people.
Coming to BBC Two later this year, ‘The Hairy Bikers Ride Route 66’ is a brand new six-part series of 60-minute episodes.
The broadcaster noted: ‘The Bikers’ journey will be carved into six legs, in which they’ll visit destinations like Chicago, St Louis and Las Vegas, and travel through incredible landscapes from vast prairies in Oklahoma to the staggering scale of the Grand Canyon. The breadth of food on offer will allow them to experience everything from the very latest LA trends to regional specialities that only the locals know about.’
Si King said: “America has a multicultural food scene and is the home of some outrageous food. We’re all accustomed to the supersized portions and all-you-can-eat challenges that the USA has become known for, but we’ll be seeking out the best and most diverse cuisine this fascinating country has to offer.”
Dave Myers added: “Route 66 is a bucket list trip for us and it truly is an American dream to take in the sights and scenery of this part of the world – all whilst enjoying some delicious local delicacies along the way.”
BBC Two head of popular factual and factual entertainment David Brindley commented: “It’s always a joy to have the Hairy Bikers on our screens, and they are sure to bring the excitement and thrill of this iconic cross-country road trip to audiences on BBC Two later this year.”
