This week, a food fight: authors Jan Dutkiewicz and Gabriel Rosenberg present their case for…embracing McDonalds and Burger King? Listen to their vision for a better industrial food system that looks nothing like the farm-to-table diets of Michael Pollen and Alice Waters. Plus, we tour the secret cookies of Italy with Domenica Marchetti; and Elazar Sontag and Lyndsay C. Green discuss the changing state of restaurant criticism.
