Dawn explores the link between ritual and satisfaction when it comes to food. The show is all about food, and science, and whether there can be such a thing as a $100 turkey, whether it could really taste that much better, how pet food marketing is geared towards selling beef leavings and reconstituted grain towards the humans and not the animals, varying theories as to why spicy foods got that way, how much childhood memories affect how food tastes, and the alchemy involved in taking tomatoes and beef and creating the best chili possible.
