About the Show

AMERICAN EATS is the quirky, nostalgic and often surprising look back at the history, mystery and technology behind our favorite foods. Each episode tells the story of the brilliant ideas, offbeat inventions, and daring innovators who transformed the way we eat while helping to define American culture. Along the way, we discover why it took much more than a tasty recipe for pizza to go from Italy to Lombardi's to Domino's delivery trucks everywhere. We learn how a backyard concoction went from pharmacy soda fountains to become the real thing or how a mystery meat became an Oscar Mayer winner! American Eats is a celebration of the foods we love and the remarkable stories behind them.
