On today’s show, Ruth Reichl and food writer Michael Pollan explore how we decide what to eat. Then, chef Daniel Boulud and sommelier Daniel Johnnes explain why box wines can be a good option for wine lovers. And Michael Drinkard describes his new novel set in New York during the Revolutionary War. Plus: a panel of poets discuss what makes American poetry distinctive.
Food options nowadays can be really confusing--should we choose organic, free range, locally grown, low-carb....or just what we can afford? Ruth Reichl and Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma, examine the food choices we make, and their consequences.
