Milk Street's 10th anniversary is right around the corner! To celebrate, we're revisiting our favorite moments, starting with this week’s episode featuring the very first appearance of regular contributor Alex Aïnouz. On YouTube, Alex is known for his mad scientist experiments, from his million-layer puff pastry to his quest for the perfect French omelet.

Also in this episode—we hear about the amazing history of pickles; Dan Pashman takes us to Shabbat at Wendy's; and we cook chicken under a brick.
