In each episode, we put one of our favourite foods on the chopping block, then pare it down through history and culture to learn the richness that simmers in the ordinary act of eating. The show features familiar favourites like lettuce, pork, and baby food, as well as foods that have more recently piqued the North American palate.
Several episodes explore related issues such as travelling food, barbecues, and dining out.
