There's a science to food, explaining why people crave certain things and why foods are addictive. Chef Richard Blais hosts the show that explores the psychology and science behind our dietary decisions. Each episode addresses a certain delicacy. Some of Blais' discoveries reveal a hidden psychological connection between rooting for a winning sports team and the amount of food eaten during a game, the reason mom's homemade dishes taste the best, and the power of language used to stimulate a taste for pizza, burgers and ice cream.
