Food 360 with Marc Murphy

Finding Flavor with Gail Simmons

This episode tackles the mysterious phenomenon we call flavor—which is different from taste, by the way. Marc digs into the technical side of things during a chat with Bob Holmes, author of Flavor: The Science of Our Most Neglected Sense, then gets personal with Gail Simmons of Top Chef. They discuss what it’s like to recreate flavors from memory, why a cherished meal is like an ex, and how she stays objective while judging food on TV.  Learn more about your ad-choices at <a href="https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com">https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com</a>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.

Chef Marc Murphy’s debut podcast, Food 360, is a true celebration of the culinary world. With a little help from historians, fellow celebrity chefs, food writers, and more, the Chopped judge and restaurateur examines food culture from every possible angle, shedding new light on even the most familiar culinary topics. He’ll explore questions like: Why does food taste better on a white plate? How do menu layouts affect the way we order? And what does it really take to open up a restaurant? Listeners will walk away feeling smarter (and hopefully hungrier)!
