Episode notes
This week I speak with, David Page, who created "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives" which is probably one of the most popular shows on the Food Network. He tells us all about how he got the idea for the show (it will surprise you) and how restaurants were picked and vetted to be featured (this will surprise you too). We then talk about his new book Food Americana and take a deep dive into the food culture in America. It should surprise no one that it is really a melting pot of a lot of cuisines. We talk about why American's are so obsessed with Chinese and Mexican food, how we have changed it to our taste, and what the future of authentic cuisine looks like. This was such an interesting conversation with someone who will forget more about food than most of us will ever know.
