Send us a textLong before chefs were hoping to breed vegetables for flavor (Dan Barber we are looking at you!), one eccentric plant lover in California was reshaping the future of food—seed by seed. In Part 1 of this two-part series,  Brad digs into the life and legacy of Luther Burbank, the 19th-century horticultural legend who brought us the Russet potato, Shasta daisy, spineless cactus, and hundreds of other botanical innovations.From Burbank’s quiet roots in Massachusetts to his experimental empire in Santa Rosa, this episode explores what happens when one person dares to ask, “What if a plant could be more?” Brad also shares a hilarious story from the UMass Chefs Conference involving Dan Barber, a maybe-too-obscure Burbank reference, and a perfectly awkward moment of silence.If you’ve ever wondered where your food really begins, this is the seed of that story.
