Episode Synopsis

Pull up a chair as Time Tellers serves a short, spicy history of how global dishes were translated, watered down, and gloriously reinvented on American tables—from chicken tikka masala’s Glasgow epiphany to the gyro, fries, and pad thai that became something new on this side of the world.
Through lively anecdotes, immigrant voices, and kitchen confessions, this episode reveals the human stories behind every adaptation and asks: what do we lose — and gain — when food crosses borders?
