Eating History

Each episode of this offbeat new series finds collector Josh Macuga and “vintage food expert” Old Smoky hitting the road together in search of edibles that somehow have defied expiration dates, usually thanks to time-tested preservation methods such as salting, smoking, jarring, fermenting and canning. While these foods aren’t always safe to eat — seriously, do not try this at home — this duo fearlessly and literally takes a bite out of history to learn the stories behind the food. Another episode immediately follows.
