#135: February 1970 (w/Corey Mintz) - "The Doomed Land - The Dying Sea!"

Corey Mintz is a freelance food reporter for the New York Times, Globe and Mail, Eater, and other presigious media outlets, so we have no idea why he's slumming with us this week. A former cook and restaurant critic, he's the author of two and a half books, the latest of which is The Next Supper: The End of Restaurants as We Knew Them, and What Comes After. We cannot recommend it highly enough. Come for the insightful revelations about the restaurant industry, stay for the references to Advanced Idea Mechanics.For an extra 45 minutes of this episode, support us on Patreon at the $4/month level to get access to our super-secret bonus feed of content.
