This is not a negative review against the program. The program is both entertaining and informative. This is a negative review against whoever is releasing the episodes. There are missing episodes. Please release so I can make an extensive review. As of May 11, there are 11 produced, but 5 unreleased episodes. This is unprofessional work on either Google (no surprise there) or History Channel. FIX IT!

I love all of History Channel's "The (blank) that Built America" series & this one's no different. Well told historical stories in a format that's easy to enjoy.

A marvelous travel through the American food Industries. If you love history or just want to learn about those who innovated the way we eat, this is the perfect series program for you.
