We absolutely love the podcast Gravy, put out by the Southern Foodways Alliance, and it is a must-listen for foodies. Gravy covers the social history of food in the American South, both past and present. We always learn something new when listening to Gravy, so we were fascinated to learn about the influence of military rations and food technology on civilian food, from ingredients to packaging, which we thought we would share on Veterans Day. If you are looking for a fun, fascinating podcast we can’t recommend Gravy enough.

Chicago food podcasts
Now that I (L) am commuting to work, I have been listening to many more podcasts, both in the car and on the train (where I am writing this post). I have definitely tried to broaden my horizons, and listen to as many different subjects as possible, though science and current events appear regularly (I love Radiolab, How to do Everything, Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me and Quirks and Quarks). However, up until a week or so ago, I had completely neglected food podcasts, and there are some great shows that focus on the food scene right here in the Windy City.
One of my favorite Chicago food podcasts is Louisa Chu and Monica Eng’s Chewing the Fat on NPR. A recent episode I particularly enjoyed talked about the highly-anticipated Eataly and the Italian food scene in Chicago. Another favorite is Michael Gebert’s audio and video podcast Sky Full of Bacon. The audio podcast, with the awesome name, “Airwaves Full of Bacon” has covered such diverse topics as the kitchen at Next restaurant, Michelin stars, charcuterie and Country ham in Kentucky. Let me know if there are any other podcasts you like (on any topic, but especially food!)
