The history of sandwiches is laced with vice, ingenuity, and industry.
Sarah will relate this sordid tale via the PB&J, perhaps the sandwich Americans feel the most passionate about. But jelly wasn't always thought to be peanut butter's natural companion and at MSG you'll get to experience long-forgotten peanut butter sandwiches of the past.
Later, Soma will take us on a tour of America's best sandwiche...

We're excited to partner with the fine folks over at Fluent City to bring all of you a couple of their two-hour slang workshops on the cheap.
These workshops are taught in English, so you won't need to be fluent in Spanish or French to pick up some fun phrases and avoid sounding like a silly American on the streets of Madrid or Paris.
Both workshops take place on Friday, February 22, from 7-9p...
I keep meeting people who live in Ridgeweood (hey Ridgewood!), so I thought it'd be fun to revisit one of my favorite historic houses, which just happens to be in Ridgewood: the wonderfully named Vander Ende-Onderdonk House.
The house is at 1820 Flushing Avenue, just over the Queens-Brooklyn border; it's an easy walk from the Jefferson L stop, but it couldn't be further away in spirit from the busy, industri...

Back when it was hot out, we undertook a very serious scientific mission: gorging ourselves on seven types of supermarket vanilla ice cream in order to study the effects of overrun - the ice cream industry's practice of pumping tons of air into commercial ice cream.
You can think of overrun as really just a fancy word for increasing profit margins, since the more air they pump in, the less actual ice cream they ha...
To celebrate its one year anniversary, this month's Masters of Social Gastronomy takes on its namesake: monosodium glutamate (MSG)! Savory spice or fatal flavor?
Sarah Lohman of Four Pounds Flour will track MSG back to its source in traditional Japanese food, showing how time and money turned an innocuous plant into the darling of mass production
Soma will take on modern-day interpretation...
