In Food Today (90s TV Show) David Rosengarten Explores Retro Lunch Boxes & Bizarre Food Myths (1997)

#90s #cooking #lostmedia

Travel back to 1997 with this classic episode of In Food Today, hosted by David Rosengarten and Donna Hanover! This retro Food Network gem brings together vintage nostalgia, surprising food facts, and jaw-dropping restaurant trends—all in one show. Plus I love that hamburger recall graphic. Looks like an amiga hamburger. This is the only episode of In Food Today that I have seen. I loved David Rosengarten in TASTE and it's interesting to see him have to play off other people. I prefer him on TASTE, but this was interesting to see.
