Chili Buns and Pickled Bologna: A 4,000 Mile Road Trip Through Appalachia

Ronni Lundy, author of “Victuals,” eats her way through Appalachia.

Hosted on Acast. See <a href="https://acast.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">acast.com/privacy</a> for more information.

Every week, Milk Street Radio travels the world to find the most fascinating stories about food—a detective who tracks down food thieves and a look inside the most famous (and often scandalous) restaurant kitchens—and interviews with culinary icons such as José Andrés, Padma Lakshmi, Jacques Pépin, and Marcus Samuelsson. And on Milk Street Radio you can always find the unexpected: the comedian who ranks apples using an elaborate 100-point system, the scientists who study if vegetables have souls, and the journalist who reveals the world’s 10 biggest food lies. We also answer our listeners’ cooking questions, find out how to make the perfect cup of coffee, and share how to eat your way through Italy.
