The Restaurant Guys
Steven Witherly on Why Humans Like Junk Food
This is a Vintage Selection from 2006
The Banter
The Guys discuss one mayor’s aim to eliminate non-English advertising and why they think that’s a stupid idea.
The Conversation
The Restaurant Guys welcome back Dr. Steven Witherly, to discuss the science of why humans like junk food and how we can use those tactics to get kids to eat their broccoli.
The Inside Track
The Guys have had several enlightening conversations with Steven Witherly. In this episode he shares some foods with superpowers that can elevate almost any dish.
“ These are foods you can put in your cooking today without even changing the flavor profile, but it will be better. They're small things. For example, soy sauce is a secret weapon pleasure food, so is cheese, so is garlic, and my favorite of all is adding parmesan cheese to foods. That's a secret weapon,” Dr. Steven Witherly on The Restaurant Guys Podcast 2006
