#135: February 1970 (w/Corey Mintz) - "The Doomed Land - The Dying Sea!"

Corey Mintz is a freelance food reporter for the
New York Times, Globe and Mail, Eater, and other
presigious media outlets, so we have no idea why he's slumming
with us this week. A former cook and restaurant critic, he's the
author of two and a half books, the latest of which is
The Next Supper: The End of Restaurants as We Knew
Them, and What Comes After. We cannot recommend it
highly enough. Come for the insightful revelations about the
restaurant industry, stay for the references to Advanced Idea
Mechanics.
