This week on A Chef's Table...
America Eats

So, you're on a picnic this weekend. Take a look at the table. We have so many different influences on our cuisine. On today's show we'll take a look at what America eats. Josh Ozersky, our Mr. Cutlets, says there's one food that is categorically American -- the hamburger. And if it is grass fed and raised on the prairie, then even more so! Discover an unpublished WPA project with Pat Willard as she traces the meals and foodways of this writers project. Examining the history of alcohol left us with a question -- what about the music of prohibition?! Elisabeth Perez-Luna talks -- and takes a listen -- with Dr. Guthrie Ramsey. Plus much more.

This week's featured recipe:
Southwestern Turkey Burger

09/04/10 - For Your Labor Day Picnic, Try Grass-Fed Beef!

Grass-fed is leaner and lower in saturated fat and that means you have to make some cooking adjustments. It's easy to do as Rick Bayless explains.
