American Eats

American Eats (2006)

EndedDocumentary showFood

From cultures around the world we gathered our favorite foods and made them our own. Hot dogs and ice cream cones, cookies and chocolate, hamburgers and pizzas, barbeque and beer, fried chicken and the sandwich, the foods we eat have become emblems of America itself. They're fast, fun and a little funky. They're mass produced and custom made. And each food has an amazing story to tell.
