Masters of Social Gastronomy: Breakfast!

Each month, Masters of Social Gastronomy takes on a curious food topic and breaks down the history and science behind it. This month, we’re eating a balanced BREAKFAST.

At the dawn of the twentieth century, breakfast underwent a total transformation from a dense, multi-meat affair to a bowl of whole-grain cereal. Historic gastronomist Sarah Lohman will reveal the key players in this breakfast upset and we’ll decide if this change was for the better–or worse.

Then, we’ll take a sharp turn into Pancake City! Abandoning his true love Waffle House, educator Jonathan Soma will then take us on a trip to hear the nitty-gritty on the best pancakes this planet has to offer: spongy Ethiopian injera, India’s paper-thin dosa, the mile-high Japanese okonomiyaki, and more!
