âThe time has come for us to change the coffee brand that we offer and we want your input!â The email came from Myiesha Gordon in the HR Department at WNYC. Like many others, Myiesha hated the office coffee. This week we follow her as she sets up a taste test and an office-wide coffee election. We'll find out why office coffee is so important to people, plus we'll talk to a caffeine researcher about whether it makes us better at our jobs. Then a behavioral economist weighs in about whether coffee is something companies should be spending money on.

McDonaldâs soft-serve machines break down so often that a corner of the internet is awash in memes and videos about their unreliability. Enter Jeremy OâSullivan and Melissa Nelson, two entrepreneurs who wanted to fix the broken machines. They thought they'd succeeded â until McDonaldâs told its franchisees to stay away. This week we talk with Jeremy, Melissa, and Andy Greenberg, the Wired reporter who first broke this story of ice cream intrigue, and we hear about the 900 million dollar lawsuit Jeremy and Melissa brought against McDonaldâs.

In honor of July 4th, weâre exploring an important part of American history â the contributions of enslaved Black chefs, whose work influences American cuisine to this day. In 1784, Thomas Jefferson brought the enslaved chef James Hemings, brother of Sally Hemings, with him to France to train under the French culinary masters of the day. Hemings created a cuisine that was half French, half Virginian, and brought it back to Jefferson's plantation, Monticello. This week, Dan tours the kitchens at Monticello with three descendants of enslaved Virginians: Michael Twitty, culinary historian and historical interpreter; Niya Bates, senior fellow of African American history at Monticello; and Gayle Jessup White, public relations and community engagement officer at Monticello.

Dan goes inside Consumer Reports, the independent nonprofit that tests and rates everything from toaster ovens to frozen pizzas to luxury cars. CR takes testing very seriously, and Dan gets to see their process in action. It all starts with an undercover shopper who goes by the pseudonym Jim. Then Dan visits the labs at HQ, where he sees how a gas range is poked, prodded, and brought to its limits. This includes testing the ovenâs self-cleaning feature against a mixture so foul, itâs legendary.

In just a few weeks, the United States will mark its 250th birthday, with celebrations all across the country. But when cake artist Grace Pak started looking into it a few months ago, she realized the festivities were missing something crucial: a birthday cake! Now, sheâs been tasked with making it. Itâll take a month to complete and include contributions from dozens of members of Congress. The final cake is supposed to be the size of a car. So how do you make such an ambitious confection? Grace tells Dan all about the process, then lets him try a sample. After that, Dan travels to our nationâs capital to see Rep. Tom Suozzi put his own decorative flair on the cake. Plus, we go behind the scenes on two collaborations for the Great Nosh summer picnic: a Jewish taco and an Indian bagel.

For comedian and former Daily Show correspondent Hasan Minhaj, biryani is more than a delicious food. It's a guide to life: pulling out the good bits and pushing the weird stuff to the side. And when you're a third-culture kid, Hasan says, you pick and choose which parts of the two cultures to make part of your life. This week, we get Hasan's take on how performing stand-up comedy is like eating and his tips for mastering the art of eating with your hands.

For decades starting in the 1940s, Ebony was one of the only magazines created by Black people that spoke directly to Black people. It showed Black Americans falling in love, playing sports, dressing in style, gathering together â and eating. Freda DeKnight was the magazineâs first food editor, publishing recipes that were international and sophisticated, challenging the stereotype that Black American food was limited to soul food. Dan speaks with historian Donna Battle Pierce about Fredaâs legacy, then meets Charla Draper, another Ebony food editor, at the Ebony test kitchen. After sitting unused for more than a decade, the kitchen and its original 1970s appliances were restored and transported to New York for an exhibit by the Museum of Food and Drink, where Dan saw it. Now itâs part of the National Museum of African American History and Cultureâs permanent collection.

Piña coladas are way better in theory than in practice. Take it from MSNBC host Rachel Maddow. "The tragedy of the piña colada is that it was never wholesome. From the very start the piña colada was built on something horrible, which is Coco Lopez," she says, referring to the canned cream of coconut junk that's long been the stomachache-inducing base of the drink. This week Rachel tells us how she fixed the piña colada with her own special recipe. Plus, Rachel advises us on best practices for cocktail garnishes. The TLDR: Keep your muddy paws out of your drink.

Last year we got an email from a young woman named Eleanor Sigel that said: âIâm training for the Taco Bell 50k. With ten Taco Bell stops in thirty miles, it should be a fun run, so I thought I'd invite you to join me.â While Dan had absolutely no interest in running 31 miles, eating that much Taco Bell, or combining the two endeavors into one, we decided to follow Eleanor as she took on the challenge. How do you train for this race? Why would someone sign up for it in the first place? And most importantly: Was Eleanor able to make it to the finish line without puking?

Nicole Taylor went through a phase where she rejected the soul food she grew up with. She called it all "slave food." Truth is, we all make judgments about what food is for which people, whether or not we realize it. Why are we willing to pay more for Italian and Japanese food than Chinese and Mexican? As we find out in this week's Reheat, it has nothing to do with the ingredients. And in the second episode of this Reheat doubleheader, we talk with the actress Rosie Perez live on stage. She says she's fed up with stereotypes of her and her food. And she tells the story of eating in Puerto Rico for the first time and thinking, "This is me."

Matt Shearer, aka Reporter Matt, has made a name for himself with his social media stories about some of the quirkier denizens of Massachusetts. One of his most famous is about the massive public outcry over the closure of both locations of Dunkinâ in Stow, MA -- which led to a surprising development. Reporter Matt joins us live on stage at WBUR CitySpace in Boston, along with cookbook author Omi Hopper and host of GBHâs The Big Dig podcast Ian Coss. Omi shares what it was like pivoting from being a makeup artist to a social media chef during the pandemic, and why Puerto Rico continues to be her muse in the kitchen. Ian makes an argument that we should be eating more monkfish, which would make Julia Child proud. Then all three of our guests share their food hot takes.
You can pre-order Omi Hopperâs book, Cooking con Omi.

Allie Rowbottomâs great-great-great uncle bought the patent to Jell-O from its inventor in 1899 for $450, then sold it in the 1920s for $67 million â nearly a billion dollars in todayâs money. Lately, Allieâs been obsessed with how all that Jell-O money shaped America, and her own family. Itâs funded generations of Rowbottom women, including Allie, but itâs also been a shadow they can't escape. Jell-O became a twisted metaphor for all the bad things that happened to them, to the point that they started to wonder: Are we cursed?
