‘Bad Boys of Reggae’ Inner Circle will beam into millions of American homes this year as guests on the first Caribbean cooking show to broadcast nationally via public television in the United States. Since April, “Taste the Islands with Chef Irie” has been rolling out across major US television markets including Los Angeles, San Fransisco, South Florida and Denver.

The band’s appearance begins with the members cooking a gourmet version of a Jamaican codfish staple with Chef Irie at their studio location. Later, they share stories of life on the road and what their dinner plates looked like before they became a global success.

Bringing a festive close to Caribbean American Heritage Month, “Taste the Islands” will begin broadcast as part of Create® TV’s summer lineup. The vibrant new series will premiere on June 29 and air Mondays and Thursdays at 8:30AM and 2:30PM (EST) on 229 Create® TV stations around the country. That coverage translates to almost 80% of television households, including those in 8 of the top 10 markets.
