I used to dig in my grandfathers larder under the stairs and dig out old food stuffs such as 20 year old peaches. They were ok. These guys go above and beyond in a fun way. The chemistry between the host works and the element of discovery brings a new angle to the show. Loved series 1 over here in the UK and hope the commission a second series.

Great concept, educational yet lacks that punch.

Warning: Spoilers
The whole show is a pretty fun concept, it gives you an insight into the history of food as well a bit of entertainment. Josh (co host) does a great job and you can see his excitement when he begins to get deeper into the historical side of things. The co- host known as "Old Smokey" while he is Informative and possesses great knowledge in regards to foods history particularly that of World War MRE rations. However, his bland and wooden presenting fails him, when you have someone with clear high energy and excitement like Josh giving you entertainment and someone like Old Smokey seeming to let off a no nonsense approach it draws away from the value of it. If the concept was tweaked this could work, however with the approach with the approach they opted for Old Smokey just doesn't fit the fitting, the curtain don't match the drapes, so to say.
I'll continue to watch the show, I just hope that they tweak the concept a little more to show some actual personality from Old Smokey as he does have great knowledge.
