A shared meal binds people in a unique way, especially during the holiday season. Food is closely tied to memories, cultural heritage and tradition, breaking down barriers and reminding us of our shared, common humanity. But where do Wisconsin’s food traditions come from?

Shereen Siewert welcomes Luke Zahm, host of PBS Wisconsin’s “Wisconsin Foodie” and owner of the Driftless Cafe in Viroqua, for a joyful discussion about the roots of our food traditions and the joy of bringing friends, family and cultures together.
