Since debuting on Michigan public television in 2001, Villegas has been tirelessly seeking out the artisan growers, farmers and ranchers that continuously produce top quality foods for the American table. “Fork in the Road with Eric Villegas” the award winning food show also brings recipes, cooking tips and culinary history based on the Great Lakes food scene. Originally airing weekly on PBS in his home state of Michigan and Canada, his efforts brought the chef two regional EMMY awards as host for popular show. In late 2007 "Fork" began national distribution via NETA on PBS offering his unique take on regional and sustainable Michigan agriculture and cuisine to the rest of the country.

Each of the weekly shows takes the viewer to a different part of the state. A blueberry farm near Holland, a buffalo ranch in the Upper Peninsula and Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island for a behind the scenes tour of the kitchens are just a few of the places "Fork" has traveled. Eric also visits the state's great agricultural regions and learns from growers how rich the state's diverse agricultural production is. In addition to "on-location" food features there are travel features throughout the region with kitchen tips and lifestyle features. "Fork in the Road" is a food show that celebrates the magical mitten, the great state of Michigan and its fabulous foods. The show has recipes, menus, cooking tips, visits to great places with interesting people and of course great food. It is so much more than just a cooking show - that's why we call it a food celebration.
