A good show to watch?

I just learned about a food network show called "The secret life of.."

-Did you ever wonder, as you crack open a lobster or peel away the layers of an artichoke, who discovered the different foods we eat? As you pop that chocolate kiss into your mouth, did you ever question where chocolate came from? All of the foods we eat have a history -- a secret life that we know nothing about. Take a lighthearted look at these foods and find out why we eat what we eat. Hosted by Jim O'Connor.

    Another Food Network show that delves into food anthropology a little bit is Good Eats. Sometimes, but not every show, Alton Brown has a food anthropologist discuss the particular food that is being featured. His show is fun, interesting, and always insightful--definitely worth checking out.
