Smashburger
We begin with an American classic, the hamburger. It's the favorite at fast food chains across the country, and now a culinary scientist, a man who literally has a Ph.D. in flavor, claims he's invented the burger of the future. Here's ABC's Linsey Davis.
Noodles & Company
From an American classic to an Asian favorite: ramen noodles. They're cheap, convenient, and popular with college students, but most wouldn't associate them with gourmet cuisine ... until now. ABC's Juju Chang has the details.
Taco Bell
For decades, fast food was the hamburger's domain, until one man brought a tex-mex concept to the drive thru lane. Now, there are just under six-thousand Taco Bells in the U-S, serving more than two-billion customers every year. ABC's John Schriffen sits down with the man behind the taco chain.
Hospital Fast-Food
Fast food is definitely not synonymous with a healthy lifestyle and you might think it's the last thing you'd find in a hospital. But these chains are popping up in facilities all around the country. Here's ABC's Linsey Davis.
The Food Truck Business
Food trucks are popping up in cities all across the country, providing hungry lunch-breakers and late night bar-crawlers with a quick bite. And more of today's young entrepreneurs are adding to the growing ranks of food truck offerings. Here's ABC's Reena Ninan.
The Parisian Diet
The French are known for their decadent cuisine, but they're also far thinner than Americans. They're not doing it by cutting out wine and cheese, so what is it about the French diet that makes them slimmer? ABC's Juju Chang has the details.
The Fast Diet
Our ancient ancestors ate as *much* as they could, *whenever* they could and then *starved* until the next feast. Now that same pattern has become the basis for a new diet combining fasting and feasting. It's proponents say it not only slims the waistline, but also results in a longer life. Once again, here's ABC's Juju Chang.
