From vintage restaurant menus to modern takeout flyers, menus can serve as inspiration for meal planning. This week on On the House: The Household Management Science Insights Podcast, host Marie Stella interviews food history expert Paul Freedman to explore the fascinating world of food documentation.
Specializing in a variety of subjects — from medieval social history to the history of cuisine — Paul Freedman is the director of Undergraduate Studies in History as well as chair of the history department at Yale University. In the field of culinary history, Paul Freedman was the editor behind ‘Food: The History of Taste’, an illustrated collection of essays about food from prehistoric to contemporary times. Impressively, Paul Freedman also penned the seminal and entertaining ‘Ten Restaurants That Changed America’ detailing how the history of America has reflected in its restaurants.
In this episode, Paul Freedman sheds light on how documenting the food we eat can contribute to our household management practices. He addresses that food documentation may be against well-renowned household decluttering practices, but it offers fresh ideas for meal planning and serves as invaluable tokens from the past.
Together, Marie and Paul Freedman canvass a plethora of useful habits to practice when collecting menus and documenting food. So, whether you’re a seasoned chef or busy parent looking for quick meal ideas, tune in to this episode for an enlightening conversation on how menu collecting can spice up your cooking routine!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
