A show about great food and the people who love to make & eat it. Every week, we dig into a different dish, meal, ingredient, cuisine, or piece of food media, exploring the history & culture around it, sharing favorite recipes, and learning from our wonderful guests. The only rule? You've gotta love it. After all, there's no such thing as bad food.
This week, hosts Teffer Adjemian (@tefferbear) and Tom Zalatnai (@tomzalatnai) answer questions sent in by listeners of the show! What foods freeze best? What inspired us to make a show about food? What’s the best soda? The answer to all these questions and more await.
