  • American Chinese Food

    Found this episode to be extremely interesting due to being a native Californian with close ties to the SF area as well as inland agriculture (Central Valley). Thanks for the great history provided in this podcast!

  • Never Not Boring! Always Interesting!

    This history pod is so well researched and put together. I‘ve only listened to a handful of the older episodes and I‘ve learned a lot about eating and cooking habits that still reflect in modern cuisine. I can’t wait to get into the more contemporary 20th century episodes to see how food in America has evolved since colonialism and beyond. I love putting this podcast on when i’m cooking myself!

  • Actually, I give it six stars!

    You know how David Attenborough has a great conversational flow, where it sounds like he’s just telling you some cool stuff he knows off the top of his head? This show has that same quality, despite all the facts and research that are packed into each episode. Very entertaining.
