  • The War on Meat, Matcha Madness & Plane Food Fails
    Oct 9 2025

    Today on American Gravy, Chef Andrew and Lauren Gruel are back with another serving of unfiltered talk at the intersection of food, culture, and common sense. This week, they break down why meat prices keep climbing while junk food gets cheaper, how government subsidies created America’s monocrop diet, and what it all means for your health.

    They also react to Chelsea Clinton’s new “anti-MAHA” podcast, laugh through viral airplane food videos (yes, someone really baked sourdough at 30,000 feet), and share their weekly “What the Fork” and “86 It” segments, including why Andrew’s over matcha and Lauren’s done with fitness-food fads.

    Smart, funny, and real... American Gravy blends food insight with cultural sanity in a way only the Gruels can dish out. Subscribe now for your twice weekly drop of truth, taste, and a side of humor.
