A More Perfect Plate

A More Perfect Plate is a weekly conversation about food, drink, and their role in American history, released in celebration of America's 250th birthday. Each week through the summer of 2026, we'll release a dispatch on the American culture and history hiding in your favorite foods: the people, the trade routes, the happy accidents that put cheese curds, hot dogs, and whiskey on our plates. On this podcast, Nick, a third-generation butcher from Lake Geneva Country Meats, and his co-host Bridget break each dispatch down in a casual, dinner-table-style discussion about what's interesting, what's boring, and what it all means today. Pull up a chair and join us!
