Noteworthy quotes from this episode

“I've been to a lot of different countries and I've eaten a lot of different food. Really hard to absorb a culture without eating with them. It is really hard to do because food is so much of what people do and how people live.” – Matthew Regusci

“More than 200 diseases are spread through food. I bet the average person would be shocked to know that because we only really talk about the big six.” – Francine L Shaw
