The Food that Built America is one of the oddest, most interesting docuseries

TVLine

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."
