The Masters of Social Gastronomy podcast is back! The third Monday on every month, we bring you our LIVE show, taped at Caveat NYC!

This month, Sarah and Soma tackle BODEGAS. Explore the history of bodegas and their connection to the origins of New York City itself. Hear how wave after wave of immigrants – Germans, Dominicans, Koreans, and more – each left their mark upon this New York institution. 

We also stories some of your favorite bodega products. What exactly is hiding in that Boar’s Head deli meat, and why is it the undisputed king of New York sandwiches?

And bodega cats. Lots of bodega cats.

BODEGAS

Each month, Masters of Social Gastronomy takes on a curious food topic and breaks down the history, science, and stories behind it.

MSG is brought to you by Sarah Lohman and Jonathan Soma and hosted at Caveat NYC.  From strange meat to fake meat; from candy to artificial flavors; MSG takes on food's most fun, engaging, and controversial issues. 

New shows the third Monday of every month!
