"A Fork in the Road: Where Travel, Food & Farming Meet" As we head into summer, we're taking a refreshing detour from our typical deep dives into economics, government, and public policy-to explore the fun, flavorful, and surprisingly vital world of agritourism. Join us for a lively breakfast with David Zelski, creator, host, and Emmy award-winning producer of multiple travel and food shows including A Fork in the Road, Anglers & Appetites, and PBS's Curious Traveler. David will share behind-the-scenes stories from the road, highlight some of Georgia's most unique and inviting destinations, and explain how local farms, food, and outdoor experiences are helping power Georgia's economy. You'll come away inspired, entertained-and maybe even ready to plan your next weekend getaway! Whether you're a travel lover, foodie, business owner, or economic development enthusiast, this event is sure to deliver a fresh perspective and a great time. David Zelski is an award-winning television producer, host, and storyteller with a passion for showcasing the people and places that make communities unique. He is the creator, host, and co-executive producer of Anglers & Appetites, airing on Fox Sports South, Fox Sports Sun, and Destination America. The series combines outdoor adventure and culinary discovery and has aired over 30 episodes since its 2014 debut. David also works with the National PBS series Curious Traveler, where he shoots, produces, and edits travel segments from around the world. He began his career as a reporter and anchor for Lawmakers on Georgia Public Broadcasting, covering the Georgia General Assembly in real-time. Perhaps most notably, David co-created and hosted Georgia Traveler, a show that became the highest-rated locally produced PBS program in the country. His current work as co-anchor of A Fork in the Road continues his commitment to spotlighting Georgia's culture, cuisine, and economy through its farms, small towns, and homegrown experiences.
