LOS ANGELES, Dec. 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LatiNation Media, the Latino-owned multiplatform 18+ media network, debuted one of its 2025 original series—the Chiquis limited docu-series Foodie on the Go—tonight in front of her family, brands, the media industry, and fans. The network introduced the series after an intimate interview and Q&A session with Chiquis and LATV’s Anakaren Lopez and a performance by the all-female group The 101 Girls.
Chiquis is a dynamic force in the entertainment industry - a three-time Latin GRAMMY award-winning artist, 2025 GRAMMY nominee, businesswoman, entrepreneur, author, and media personality. The series will premiere in Q1 2025 and is a 30-minute, six-episode unscripted limited docu-follow series. It is Executive Produced by Chiquis, Richard Bull, Sebastian Jimenez, and LatiNation Media’s Andres Palencia, and Bruno Seros Ulloa. Chiquis’ Busy Bee Productions produced the series with LatiNation Media.
Chiquis said, “I wanted to have Foodie on the Go be one of Busy Bee Productions' first shows because I want people to know the story of who’s cooking the food and why. It’s one of my favorite parts of the show - getting inspired by the food, the culture, the crunch, the spice, and meeting the owners and staff. I love connecting with the culture through the dishes and the people making and serving the food.”
"Few things represent Latino culture better than our relationship with food. Foodie on the Go aligns perfectly with our mission to amplify content and culture created by Latinos for a multi-generational audience, and it’s infused with LatiNation’s sabor,” said Andres Palencia, CEO, LatiNation Media. “We’re excited to showcase a different kind of food culture show, one that is uniquely Chiquis.”
“We are excited to have Chiquis as a part of the LatiNation Media family,” added Bruno Seros Ulloa, COO & President, LatiNation Media. “She embodies the fusion of dual cultures and heritage, and this show highlights the rich experiences and meaningful stories tied to food across the country. Watching her visit diverse locations on tour - and on camera - offers the ultimate road trip experience.”
