This week, Monica tells us about her new book, Made in Chicago: Stories Behind 30 Great Hometown Bites, co-written with David Hammond. Then Monica interviews former Obama White House and Chicago restaurant chef Sam Kass about his organization Do Good Chicken that reduces food waste by putting it towards their chickens’ diet. Then she talks to Niman Ranch and Mariano's representatives about stocking sustainable pork behind the butcher counter. Finally, Monica shares tomato chips with the ladies. But will they eat it?
