On this episode of The Food Seen, listen to Michael “cook art history”, as Maite Gomez-Rejón of ArtBites.net, takes THE FOOD SEEN on a tour through The MET (Metropolitan Museum of Art), to discuss America’s first “foodie”, Thomas Jefferson. During his time as minister to France, he learned to love French cuisine, brought it’s customs back to the US, introducing many staple ingredients, as well as bringing American crops back to Europe.
