The Curious Origins of Your Favorite Foods

In this reel, we uncover the seriously surprising stories behind some of our favorite foods. We travel back to the Jazz Age to find chicken-and-waffle’s Harlem roots, try to get to the bottom of the great sandwich debate and learn about how everyone’s favorite California roll is more Great White North than Golden State.
