And on Milk Street Radio you can always find the unexpected: the comedian who ranks apples using an elaborate 100-point system, the scientists who study if vegetables have souls, and the journalist who reveals the world’s 10 biggest food lies. We also answer our listeners’ cooking questions, find out how to make the perfect cup of coffee, and share how to eat your way through Italy.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/christopher-kimball-s-milk-street-radio-960955"},"episode":{"title":"The Science of Food: Steaks, Bugs and Expiration Dates","slug":"the-science-of-food-steaks-bugs-and-expiration-dates","published_at":"2026-01-27T08:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/christopher-kimball-s-milk-street-radio-960955/the-science-of-food-steaks-bugs-and-expiration-dates","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/christopher-kimball-s-milk-street-radio-960955","url":"https://play.prx.org/listen?ge=prx_9135_619666e5-0461-48c3-afcb-8ab8ceda7dce&uf=https%3A%2F%2Fpublicfeeds.net%2Ff%2F9135%2Ffeed-rss.xml","audio_url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/tracking.swap.fm/track/sblTq32fyWAjsHzze2LG/dovetail.prxu.org/9135/619666e5-0461-48c3-afcb-8ab8ceda7dce/418_Bonus.mp3","summary":"For a throwback, we’re looking back at one of our all-time favorite episodes—our science episode from 2020. We chat with flavor chemist Dr. Arielle Johnson about how to eat a tree, how insects use flavor molecules to communicate and the science of taste and smell. Plus, Meathead teaches us how to grill perfect steaks; J. Kenji López-Alt investigates food expiration dates; and we make a no-fuss, all-flavor Spanish Almond Cake.
