St. Paul’s Karyn Tomlinson and Rochester’s Tiffany Alexandria will bring two distinct perspectives to the beloved Minnesota food series
SAINT PAUL, Minn., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Relish is entering a new chapter with two hosts at the helm for Season 7, premiering on Minnesota PBS in Spring 2027. Acclaimed St. Paul chef Karyn Tomlinson and Rochester food storyteller Tiffany Alexandria will co-host the series, marking the first time Relish will feature two hosts.
Tomlinson is the chef and owner of Myriel in St. Paul where she brings together Midwestern ingredients, French technique, and the food traditions of her Minnesota upbringing. Her cooking draws inspiration from the state’s farms, forests, and culinary heritage, offering a distinctly Minnesota perspective on food and hospitality.
“I’m thrilled to join Relish and have the opportunity to explore the incredible food stories happening throughout Minnesota,” said Karyn Tomlinson. “Food tells us so much about who we are, where we come from, and what we value. I’m looking forward to meeting the people who are shaping Minnesota’s food culture and sharing those stories with viewers across the state.”
Based in Rochester, Alexandria is the founder of the Rochester Night Market, a community gathering that celebrates local food, culture, and connection. Originally from Taiwan, she uses food to share her cultural heritage and create connections among Minnesotans. Through pop-up dinners, dumpling classes, photography, and storytelling, Alexandria celebrates local, seasonal ingredients while supporting small businesses and sustainability. Her work brings together cultures and communities and reflects the diverse food traditions that make Minnesota home.
“Food has always been one of my favorite ways to connect people and cultures,” said Tiffany Alexandria. “I’m excited to bring my perspective to Relish and to introduce viewers to the people, ingredients, traditions and stories that make Minnesota so special. There is so much happening beyond the places we already know, and I can’t wait to get out there and discover it together.”
Together, Tomlinson and Alexandria bring complementary perspectives to Relish, drawing on their experiences in Minnesota’s food communities and their connections to a range of cultures and communities. Their shared curiosity will help Relish explore the people, places, traditions, and stories that make Minnesota’s food culture distinctive — from established culinary destinations to unexpected food stories in communities large and small.
Season 7 of Relish will premiere on Minnesota PBS in Spring 2027. Additional details, including the premiere date and episode lineup, will be announced at a later date.
