The social science is interesting as well. He traces the cultural roots of the food that we eat and take for granted every day, as well as cross-cultural similarities and differences in how the same ingredient is cooked. He can get smarmy or cocky with these explanations, but like any good college professor he comes…

She hootied but no one hooed. So sad, the unrequited hootie.
