Jinich is author of the recent New York Times article, "The Century-Long Saga of the Caesar Salad," detailing the history and impact of the dish, which originated in Tijuana, Mexico. Plus, we take your calls on your favorite recipes and renditions of the iconic dish.

In the follow-up to author K’wan's novel, The Reluctant King, Maureen, the former matriarch of Manhattan’s King crime family, devises a plan to reclaim power after being exiled to Brooklyn with her son. It's titled, False Idols: A Reluctant King Novel. K’wan joins us to discuss the new release and the battle over the New York City's Five Points.

The latest exhibit at the Met's Costume Institute brings old pieces of fashion to life through innovative techniques, including holograms. Andrew Bolton, curator in charge of The Costume Institute, joins us to discuss Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion, on view now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art through September 2.
