On this episode Meg is joined by Chicago local, Oni Gabor to discuss the book, National Dish, by Anya Von Bremzen. The author explores the origins of national dishes in four different countries.

She explains that a food studies scholar, which I did not know was a thing and now need to redo my major, claims national cuisines suffer from “problematic obviousness” where their origins seem so overt, we rarely investigate them. Now, we will.
