This week, we explore happy accidents: the unexpected, serendipitous moments that we don’t plan for and don’t often see coming. These happenstance occurrences shaped the food world by leading the way for new foods, new ways of cooking, and new careers. 

We have stories about the spontaneous fermentation of lambic beers, the microwave’s origin story, the career trajectory of bartender Sother Teague, and the mistake that led to the creation of America’s favorite breakfast cereal.
