  • Food Fridays with Leonard Lopate

    For the next 10 weeks, we’re dedicating our Friday shows to all things food. From the kitchen to the school cafeteria to restaurants to the FDA, the series will look at food through a variety of lenses—culinary, social, cultural, political. The series will include interviews with chefs, restaurant critics, food writers, and will include recipes, cooking tips, how-to demonstrations, and discussions on tipping servers, catering, obesity, and lunch at work.

    On today’s show, Chef Tom Colicchio and directors Lori Silverbush and Kristi Jacobson discuss the documentary “A Place at the Table,” about the more than 49 million people who are food insecure in this country. New York magazine’s food critic Adam Platt discusses food trends. Julia Collin Davidson, of America’s Test Kitchen, talks about the DIY Cookbook. Plus Please Explain is all about superfoods.
