About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of war on American food and its relationship with emerging technology.
Welcome back to American Food! Sorry about the big break, and even more sorry to be talking about war food ... during war. Blech But it is interesting, and my ever growing fascination with American Food and how it keeps embracing emerging technology is not let down. So here we go.
