25 Years in 25 Days (2004): Iraq; Social Media; Corruption in NJ; and Foodies

The Brian Lehrer Show | Oct 20, 2014

Shake Shack’s owner Danny Meyer and Dan Barber, the chef and co-owner of Blue Hill at Stone Barns, talk about the rise of foodies. Plus: NYC hosted the Republican National Convention; Facebook debuted and a decade of social media was born; and a look at a particularly corrupt year for New Jersey politics.
