¿Ya Comiste?
When you walk into a Latine family’s household — no matter how long you’ve been away — one of the first questions you might hear is: ¿Ya comiste? For many families, the phrase is more than a question about food; it is an expression of love, care, and connection. It signals that you belong. With ¿Ya Comiste?, Penguin Random House transforms that universal sentiment into a vibrant new digital series that explores the powerful relationship between meals, memories, culture, and creativity. Check out the trailer, take the first bite, and watch the first season on YouTube now.
Culture. Food. Books.
Presented by Penguin Random House, ¿Ya Comiste? explores the rich traditions, memories, and flavor of Latine cuisine. Watch the trailer below to get a taste of Season 1!
