Oregon and Washington are home to dozens of dishes that typically aren't found in other parts of the country or rooted in the Northwest. Learn the surprising history of tater tots, the Dutch baby pancake, jojos (seasoned potato wedges) and the Crab Louie salad. Hear about iconic Northwest foods like marionberries, geoduck, and cedar-planked salmon. But the Pacific Northwest isn't the only place with its own set of local specialties. Food writer Jon Douglas offers up the history of regional foods and how they have evolved in different parts of the US, debunking the myths that have developed around some famous dishes. Explore why eating like a local can make the American culinary landscape endlessly delicious.
