Yesterday's Flavors, Tomorrow's Table: Preserving Culinary Heritage
What obligations do we have to the foodways we’ve inherited? As whole ways of life go extinct in the face of globalization and modern technology, what do we save, and why? Our reporters seek out the protectors of tiny taters, bacterial breads, and Aztec agriculture to understand how the past informs our present.

True to Self: Authenticity Redefined
When we first began reporting this episode, we wanted to tell stories about foods, drinks, and experiences that fall outside what is typically considered “authentic.” We coined the term “purposefully IN-authentic” and ran with it until we couldn’t run any further. What we found instead is that choosing the road less traveled because it is the road that feels most true, might be the most exemplary form of authenticity. From entire cuisines, to community practices, to individual choices, to specific places (uh-um, Margaritaville), this episode celebrates a new definition of authenticity: commitment, genuineness and unabashed ingenuity.

Our Cheese, Ourselves
Here at Meat and Three, cheese holds a special place in our hearts. Cheese can connect us to our past and future while making us more grounded in our present. It can bring us together and bring cultural traditions to life.
This week we explore the many facets of cheese. From at home cheese-making and cheese fortune telling, to the cheese traditions of Wisconsin and Mexico, join us in celebrating cheese in all its forms. -
