NBC correspondent Katy Tur had a front row seat to the circus that was the 2016 campaign. Her new book, Unbelievable, recounts every crazy detail, from the rally cries of fake news to the packets of peanut butter she ate as her main sustenance. In this episode, Tyler (admittedly a political junkie) chats with Tur about all of it, from her thoughts on Trump culture to her baking skills.

They say it takes a village, and never is that more true than when shooting an entire cookbook in three days flat. With his hands in so many pots this week, Tyler turns the mic over to producer Amanda Gold to introduce the team -- and get their stories, backgrounds and impressions of the boss -- as they go behind the scenes during the shoot. In between, Tyler talks through some of his favorite recipes in the fourth installment of his Chatbooks series, “Family, Friends and Weekends,” including one for “breakfast broth” that has become his new morning staple.

School has been back in session for a few weeks now, and that means we’re thinking a lot about school lunch. This week, Tyler checks out what’s happening with the midday meal both inside California and elsewhere in the country, from the most well-funded private programs to government-subsidized public ones. This is about the people who pour their energy into making sure kids are well fed, and who understand the correlation between nourishing lunches and better performance. Tyler chats with a couple of innovative and passionate school chefs, and finishes the podcast with Alice Waters, whose Edible Schoolyard in Berkeley has long set the tone for what culinary education should look like.

Tyler heads down to the LA food and wine festival, where he catches up with several of Southern California's best chefs. As a party goes on in the tasting tent behind him, Tyler pulls aside everyone from Antonia Lafosa and Jon Shook to Evan Funke, Brian Malarkey and Nguyen Tran to hear about LA's dynamic food scene. And don't miss some amazing words from Wyclef Jean at the end.

With thousands of people creating recipe content on social media every day, it seems we're always waiting for "the next big thing." But as Tyler begins to prepare for his next cookbook, he wonders how difficult it is for recipe creators to truly come up with something new. To answer this question, he calls upon Senior Food and Wine editor Justin Chapple, who spends his days coming up with "mad genius tips" for home cooks, and Little Bits Of blogger Kelsey Preciado, who has been credited with inventing Sweet Potato Toast.

Tyler heads to film with the Food Network in New York City, where he sits down with restaurateur Drew Nieporent. From Montrachet and Nobu on the East Coast to Rubicon on the West, from celebrity partners to unknown chefs, Drew's restaurant experiences and connections are vast and deep, and his memories plentiful. In an industry where the chef has become the more well-known face of the restaurant, Drew - as the front of the house guy - has long held his own. Here is his story, supplemented by some commentary from well-known food writer Ruth Reichl.

The kitchen is one of the last rooms in the smart home to get a makeover, but intelligent cooking devices are now popping up on the scene in a big way. In this episode, Tyler talks to the people behind Hestan Cue (including Stanley Cheng, the king of cookware who presides over Hestan) and Chefsteps, two companies that have brought their smart devices to market and are already changing the way people cook in the kitchen of the future.

A few years ago, news of the honeybee demise was a major topic of conversion. And for good reason - without bees, we were told, there would potentially be no civilization. While extracting the Spring/Summer honey from his home hives, Tyler takes the opportunity to get up to speed on the situation - plus lots of other information on bee colonies and stewarding - from his bee rancher Mike Vigo. He also chats with almond farmer Vincent Ricchiuti on the symbiotic relationship (and big business) between honeybees and agriculture.

Wolf It Down is produced by Amanda Gold, Matthew Martyr, and Tyler Florence.
