The History Channel docuseries, which concludes its second season on Sunday, is "a fun, educational and slightly ridiculous hour of TV that looks like Drunk History and sounds like [insert horrifying true-crime documentary here]," says Kimberly Roots, adding: "Each episode goes deep in a certain area of American noshing; past subjects include Campbell’s Soup, Swanson’s frozen dinners, Kraft Singles and Pizza Hut. And what I love most is the reverence and seriousness with which everyone — from the music supervisor to the actors in the historical re-enactments to the talking heads — attends to the subject matter at hand."
