Poe's Kitchen at The Rattlesnake to Be Featured on the Cooking Channel's "United Tastes of America" on August 30

A Back Bay restaurant that features an eclectic mix of South American, Mexican, and North American foods is going to be featured on a popular cable network that focuses on cooking.

On Tuesday, August 30, Poe's Kitchen at The Rattlesnake will be shown on United Tastes of America, which airs on the Cooking Channel at 10:00 PM. It appears that the episode will be on burritos, which makes sense as The Burrito Bowl took place at Poe's Kitchen this past February.

United Tastes of America looks into the various aspects of American foods, including their history and science, as well as how they relate to pop culture. It is hosted by Jeffrey Saad, who was the runner-up in 2009's "The Next Food Network Star" on The Food Network. The show will apparently be shown on the Food Network as well, likely on Sunday, September 4, at 8:00 AM--we will check the channel's schedule next week to confirm.

The Rattlesnake first opened in 1990 on Boylston Street, eventually expanding from the second and third floor of the building to the first floor, which more than doubled the capacity of the place. In the winter of 2009, chef Brian Poe worked with The Rattlesnake to start up Poe's Kitchen at The Rattlesnake, a lunch and dinner spot that features both a rooftop deck and a street-level outdoor patio.

The address for Poe's Kitchen at The Rattlesnake is: Poe's Kitchen at The Rattlesnake, 384 Boylston Street, Boston, MA, 02116. The phone number is (617) 859-7772. And their website can be found at http://www.rattlesnakebar.com/
