About Beyond The Menu:
The story of the food on your plate is more than just the recipe. Each ingredient and every cooking technique goes back hundreds if not thousands of years, traversing the globe on a wildly delicious cross-cultural adventure. In KQED’s new digital food series Beyond The Menu, host Cecilia Phillips interviews chefs, authors, and other experts to dig up surprising facts on the cultural pathways of some of our most-loved dishes. It’s a history show, it’s a mystery series, it’s a celebration of multicultural cuisine, sometimes it’s even a science program, all set against the backdrop of mouth-watering food cinematography.
Beyond the Menu is produced by KQED. Check out all episodes here and learn how to support your local station at www.kqed.org/beyondthemenu - Розваги
When researching this episode, the team was not expecting to find stewed chicken and waffles, broiled chicken and waffles, and especially not catfish and waffles. And, being totally honest, they all sound delicious. Who has had one of these lesser-known versions of what is now a classic American dish?

THIS is why I LOVE public television and will always speak to it's role in my life from childhood to adulthood. I will always donate. And will always recommend it. The simplest thing we may take for granted can turn into something that changes the way you see magic and history in what's around you everyday. Stay curious everyone! Thank you for making us rich in content ❤
I am sooooo looking up that heirloom corn now 😋
"Stay curious" - we love that. Thanks for watching!
Something magical DOES happen when you sink your teeth into delicious fried chicken 🤩❤.
Amazing history AND deliciousness
I absolutely love this series!
🥰
I honestly can say
Ive been educated today
Thank you
So good💙
Thanks for watching!🥰
Erasure
"...Sally Hemmings, an enslaved woman he took with him to France" is a pretty serious understatement, and omission of the nature of that relationship, and the reason why her brother was granted the privilege of a culinary education, rather than something more demeaning. Jefferson was the father of Hemmings children, and, I believe, both her and her brother, were bi-racial, and technically owned by, and related to, his wife, through her father.
Fair enough. But this is a public television cooking show.
@@John-ir4idI’d say this qualifies as a food history more than a cooking show- and even so, the point stands that it’s a gross mischaracterization of the relationship, that undermines the complexity of social dynamics in America’s mass slavery era. So yeah, why wouldn’t one call out a history show for misrepresenting history?
@@zaktipton4453 Agreed, though that is the fault of the writers and of the producers who probably thought more of expedience and towing the corporate line than accuracy.
It's not that I don't agree with OP's assessment, but to expect more from a public television show is like expecting Netflix to not butcher history for a storyline.
Real ones know this from deuce bigalow
Does Cecilia do the research on this? Great content
Thanks! It's a team effort including the producers behind the scenes, like our very own Manjula Varghese who produced this one :)
@@KQEDFood awesome shout out!
lol culturally appropriated
No is not
You keep saying “the Dutch” which is misleading. They are not Dutch as from the Netherlands. Dutch is an anglicized pronunciation of Deutsch meaning german.

Interesting
Yes and no, and you're both ignoring history and demonstrating your ignorance.
First off, she isn't naming a region of Pennsylvania as "Pennsylvania Dutch country", she is repeating the common historical name...and yes, it is populated with Amish...of German descent.
It has only been since WW1 that German-Americans have been called anything except "Dutch", it has been an accepted form of address for CENTURIES. Yes, and Americans very much knew the difference between Holland and Germany. Also, remember that Germany as a unified nation didn't exist until the late 19th century.
Whether it's technically incorrect according to modern definition is not relevant...that it was technically close enough for use and acceptance when ascribed is what is important.
Take your pettiness and go back to Mama's basement.
You’re tripping
