This Thanksgiving, ABC News Radio presents “Let’s Eat.” Correspondent Daria Albinger hosts this special tour of food and drink places near and far. We’ll introduce you to a few restaurants claiming to be the “longest continuously operating” eatery in the country. We’ll peel back the lid on the tantalizing world of tinned fish, visit California’s 14-thousand-acre Rancho San Julian, and we’ll step into the kitchen with an award-winning pastry chef who promises “anyone” can make delicious desserts. We’ll also take a trip to the UK to toast a frothy brew that’s working to save the planet, and we’ll check in with World Central Kitchen as they work to serve hot meals to those in war zones and recovering from natural disasters.
