What makes food "authentic"? Do we need to feel close to where it's made? Know the complete history of where it comes from? Be able to diagram the chemistry of how it dances along our taste buds? How can we quantify the romance between eaters and the food they love?
In this hour, we talk about what it means to truly love what you eat and drink — and we ask why it matters.
