Classic Michigan Food and Drinks: The Stories Behind the Brands

Did you know the Ritz Cracker was invented in Jackson? Classic Michigan Food and Drink: The Stories Behind The Brands is full of amazing stories and photos about the many Michigan food and drink brands we know and love. Sure, Michigan invented ready-to-eat cereal (Kelloggs) and baby food (Gerber) --but there are stories most Michiganders don't know, such as Germack was the first company in America to import pistachios, Better Made uses Michigan potatoes, and we are the pickle-growing capital of the U.S. Gail Offen & Jon Milan return to dish on pop, cookies, pies, etc--and of course, fudge and pasties. If you’re a fan of brands like Sanders, Faygo, Vernors, Guernsey, and Jiffy—or have fond memories of brands like Awrey’s and Twin Pines—you’ll eat up this show!
