You may have heard that our food system is in dire straits, with shortages of chicken, beef and pork looming because several meat processing plants have temporarily shuttered due to the coronavirus. And that President Trump has gotten involved. On today’s show, we break down what that’s all about, and we speak with James Rigato, the chef and owner of celebrated restaurant Mabel Gray.

Rigato recently took to Instagram to discuss the issue, and on today’s show, he offers his expert perspective, along with some great tips for everybody stuck at home on how to continue to find meat and cook with it. After all, there’s a lot more to eat than just hamburgers and chicken breasts.

Also, May the Fourth be with you.
