Quirky Food Hour! Vegetable Orchestra, Jell-O Art, Adult Baby Food [Corrected]
2026-05-05 | 32 mins.
We're revisiting some of our wackiest, most whimsical stories. We explore the music of the Vienna Vegetable Orchestra, where flutes and drums are replaced by carrots and pumpkins; Samuel West uncovers a shameful history of food failures; and we head down to North Carolina for "O' Moldy Night": the jiggliest, wobbliest food competition around.

Every week, Milk Street Radio travels the world to find the most fascinating stories about food—a detective who tracks down food thieves and a look inside the most famous (and often scandalous) restaurant kitchens—and interviews with culinary icons such as José Andrés, Padma Lakshmi, Jacques Pépin, and Marcus Samuelsson. And on Milk Street Radio you can always find the unexpected: the comedian who ranks apples using an elaborate 100-point system, the scientists who study if vegetables have souls, and the journalist who reveals the world’s 10 biggest food lies. We also answer our listeners’ cooking questions, find out how to make the perfect cup of coffee, and share how to eat your way through Italy.
