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) follow the tomato on a journey from Mexico to Italy and beyond, learning about how this weird fruit became a beloved icon of Italian cuisine and how its American cousins became flavourless styrofoam husks of their former selves, and share some of our favorite ways to make them delicious!
