Food is the gateway to new cultures. Food carries with it much more than flavors and textures, it tells a story, expresses a culture, and carries a sense of pride and gratitude. My name Nate Ryan and this is Thought for Food. Whether you think so or not our lives revolve around food. You need it to survive, but it’s much more than that. Whether you are celebrating a marriage, going out to eat for a business meeting, or binge eating brownies while drinking boxed wine because your significant other broke up with you, food is always there. Food has created happy life long careers for many people and food has also been the main source of struggle for many people. I love food, but what I love more than food is the stories it tells and the memories it creates. What I learned over the years is that everyone has a relationship with food in some way or another and over the coming weeks I am going to be interviewing professional Chefs, friends, Family, CEOs and everyone else in between to hear their stories and how food plays a role in their life. So join me on this trip as we hear the world's Thought for food.
