From the 2012 opening of the exhibition FOOD: Transforming the American Table, 1950–2000 to its upcoming FOOD in the Garden series in September, we're working on new ways to share the story of American history through food. Development intern Danika Jensen interviews Lynne Breaux, former president of the Restaurant Association Metropolitan Washington and member of the museum's Kitchen Cabinet and the Smithsonian Council for American History, to discuss the importance of the food in understanding our nation's rich history and culture.
