The rise (and fall) of ghost kitchens is somewhat of a spooky tale in and of itself. Built on a shaky foundation, ghost kitchens exploded in popularity, especially during lockdown. Basically, unidentifiable kitchens cooked food that delivery services brought to millions of doorsteps. But who were these so called 'Ghost Kitchens'? How were each of these 'ghost kitchen's rated for food prep safety?

Weird History Food is opening up a can of History on Crystal Pepsi. What’s better than regular Coke? Clear Coke, of course!

Weird History Food is getting into the Genetic Reasons Why You Like Certain Foods. Here's some good news for picky eaters: genetic dispositions cause you to enjoy the taste of certain foods but not others. If some cultural food choices seem baffling to you, that's normal.
