From hearty Italian beef sandwiches to dreamy bowls of rice, everyone has comfort foods that remind them of home — whether that’s a physical or mental space. These dishes not only evoke memories of meals shared with families and friends, but they also play a significant role in shaping our cultural identities. In this episode, we’re revisiting some of the best HRN stories that make us feel warm and fuzzy inside… and maybe even a little bit hungry. These dishes are an inviting embrace– from us, to you.

Every meal tells a story, but what stories do they weave when you’re on a journey across the country? You’ll just have to tune in to find out. Today we’re serving up 10 delicious sides as we learn of the bites and places that bring joy, frustration, and love to the team at Meat and Three as we head on a road trip of sorts. The final destination? You’ll just have to listen and find out, but we’ll give you a hint - Elvis, Vegas, and Taco Bell. Get comfy, get your snacks and let’s hit the road!
Hey listeners,
In light of the current- and frankly ongoing- political landscape -, we here at Meat and Three want to share a moment with you before we get into our Season 17 opener. A moment to take a deep breath together, and acknowledge and stand in solidarity with the communities across the country– and world– that are being attacked with not only hateful rhetoric, but harmful policy making.
While it’s easy to give into fear and isolation, we want to encourage you to find strength in those around you, and to join together in resistance not only to survive, but to thrive.
Our greatest strength is our love for each other and our ability to come together in the face of facism. Meet us in the margins. And please, rest.
We have joy, we have community, and we will always have tomorrow. Together.
With love, The Meat and Three Community

Description:
In order to honor indigenous foodways and culture, we need to start talking about them in the present tense. Let’s look to the future in order to dismantle a colonial past! In this episode we explore some of the ways indigenous communities are revitalizing ancestral foodways and centering them in contemporary conversations about cuisine. Focused in the American Southwest, our reporters explore a Navajo farm producing culturally appropriate baby foods, a restaurant collectively run by the 19 Pueblos of New Mexico, and a restaurant/online indigenous marketplace based in Denver.

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.

Food and debate are a natural pairing. Whether it’s politics at the dinner table, check paying privileges, or how rare you’d like your ribeye, a meal can bring out fiery passions and strong opinions. But, have you considered that your opinions could just be wrong?
This week, we're diving deep into the world of food myths and setting the record straight. We’ll be tackling sushi sexism, demystifying MSG, defending the Wisconsin Old Fashioned, and breaking down skin contact wine.

You can find Dr. Debbie Fetter’s blog dedicated to breaking down hot topics and myths in nutrition here!
You can find the original 1995 FDA-commissioned report on MSG here, the 2007 Honheim consensus from Europe here (note that MSG falls under “added-as-flavor” glutamate measurements), and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) 2017 evaluation of additive glutamic acid–glutamates here.
The following links are two meta analyses on MSG studies, discussing results, issues of applicability to human subjects, and more. Meta Analysis 1 Meta Analysis 2
For a comprehensive history of MSG, and a multifaceted critical analysis of its use in industrial food production, take a look at Dr. Sarah Tracey’s 2016 thesis, Delicious: A History of Monosodium Glutamate and Umami, the Fifth Taste Sensation. Dr. Tracey’s collaboration with TedEd is an excellent sample of some ideas within the paper.
For another ode to the Wisconsin Old Fashioned, take a look at Toby Cecchini’s personal essay in the New Yorker, dedicated to the cocktail.
For more on the makings, history and flavors of orange wine, listen to this episode of Natural Disasters from the HRN archives.
