  • Beth's background in cultural anthropology fuels her fascination with how food shapes and reflects cultures.
  • With a long history of kitchen blunders, she's an expert in testing so-called "foolproof recipes," and has developed the art of making simplicity taste like a feast.
  • Beth still grieves the loss of Taco Bell's Quesarito, which was a cheesy testament to the unexpected joys of fast-food innovations.
