According to Deadline, Taste follows the clash of cultures at a legacy food magazine in the Bay Area after its acquisition by a Silicon Valley tech mogul.

Moreover, the Modern Family actress stars as the magazine’s traditionalist editor, who must work alongside a young, viral TikTok chef.

Additionally, Bowen will be executive producer for this through her production company, Bowen & Sons, alongside its president, Rachael Field.

As per the publication, Top Chef judge Gail Simmons is also joining as an executive producer who brings her extensive experience as a former special projects director at Food & Wine.

Furthermore, the series is still in the early stages of development, but it's powerhouse cast and creative team, Taste is shaping up to be a fresh audition to NBC's comedy lineup.
