Episode description as stored

This week, we journey through 250 years of American cuisine. Author Jason Fagone digs into the history of competitive eating, from the man who transformed the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, to the spectacle that was the Glutton Bowl. Plus, reporter Anna Van Dine meets the Whitcomb’s Rangers: Revolutionary War re-enactors who are committed to eating like it’s 1776; Adam Gopnik crowns a winner for The Most American Food; and live fire cooking expert Genevieve Taylor joins Chris to take your summer grilling calls.
