There's a new series on the History Channel called Food Tech.
http://www.history.com/shows.do?episodeId=531074&action=detail
It comes on at 9 PM on Thursdays.
Has anyone seen an episode? These are the descriptions:
Food Tech: Cheeseburger & Fries
A cheeseburger and a side of fries--last year, Americans ate over 7
billion of them. And there's an amazing story behind every one. Any
idea how they get the sesame seeds to stick to the bun? What does it
take to stuff 20 tomatoes inside a ketchup bottle? And what's the
secret to getting the dill in dill pickle chips? Host Bobby Bognar
sets off on a quest to find out, as he travels the country to unearth
the hidden mysteries inside our cheeseburger and fries. It's the
science behind perfectly melting cheese, the production of jet-black
seeds that sprout into Spanish onions, and a French Fry factory where
every day mountains of potatoes are sliced and diced in to 36 million
French fries.
Food Tech: Chinese Take Out
Since an influx of Chinese immigrants to America in the mid 1800s,
Americans have devoured Chinese take-out. But have you ever wondered
what's really in an egg roll? What is the secret ingredient in beef
and broccoli? And did you know a fortune cookie can actually make you
rich? Host Bobby Bognar is off to the far reaches of America to find
some ancient Chinese secrets. From the amount of salt in those hard to
open soy sauce packets, to the waxing of Pekin Ducks, it's time for
take out ...Chinese style.
