American Eats

Each light-hearted episode tells the story of the brilliant ideas, offbeat inventions, and daring innovators who transformed the way we eat while helping to define American culture. Along the way, viewers will discover why it took much more than a tasty recipe for pizza to go from Italy to pizza-parlor delivery trucks everywhere. We learn how a backyard concoction went from pharmacy soda fountains to become a staple of American life ¿ and how a chef's hurt feelings led to the ever-popular potato chip! American Eats is a celebration of the foods we love ¿ and the remarkable stories behind them. Experts featured on American Eats include authors, food innovators, pop culture experts, magazine writers, industry historians and university professors.
