Sugar Film Production director Chris Smith tours the globe on a quest for the freshest ingredients in the charming :60 H-E-B 2015 Super Bowl Spot, “On The Road,” out of The Richards Group.

The man makes his most valiant and earnest attempt to stretch his linguistic expertise and conquer local terrain as he goes straight to the source to extract queso from the Rio Grande Valley, lingonberries from Finland, balsamic vinegar from Italy, Celebration Cookies from Canada and fresh peppers for the delicious Pepper Toppers spreads from Peru.
