Disappearing Supermarkets, Essential Breakfast Grains, Ice Cream

Charles Platkin, Executive Director of the New York City Food Policy Center at Hunter College, explains why supermarkets are closing around the city and how the closures affect the people who live in the surrounding neighborhoods. On the final installment of our Food Friday breakfast series, chef Evan Hanczor and Niki Achitoff-Gray teach us how to jazz up even the humblest of grain breakfasts. In A Square Meal: A Culinary History of the Great Depression, authors Jane Ziegelman and Andrew Coe look at the diets of Americans during the 1930s. The co-founders of Van Leeuwen Ice Cream in Brooklyn and a culinary historian tell us about the history and science of ice cream!
