This Is Your Brain On Cheesesteak
We run around Philly eating the city's most iconic foods, then bring samples to a scientist at the Monell Chemical Senses Center to learn why greasy treats like cheesesteak, Philly pork sandwiches, and scrapple are so good.
(Hint: it has more to do with our brains than our stomachs.)
