Most people eat three meals and perhaps some between-meals snacks every day. But rarely do they try to figure out how the food got on their plate. In this series, comedian John Pinette sets out to determine where the food we eat comes from. He visits factories, farms, restaurants and retail stores to find out the history, technology and process behind popular foods. Each episode focuses on a particular theme, including cheese, bacon, breakfast foods and food rivalries -- for example, the battle over the best cheesesteak in Philadelphia.
