Sadly, this year the Coburn pandemic is putting millions of us that real risk of going hungry. Still many of us will be talking turkey all the same. Thanks to the help of generous and committed volunteers as Lee Cowan will report in our cover story this covert Thanksgiving millions of grateful people will be celebrating one more to the received parking lot now were able to find the story behind a photograph that captured America's need and parts hit on Sunday morning. What Chile and holy son is five Martha Tyson or this morning goes round and round with bagels. Okay, you decided to change careers and open the bagel shop. One problem message that you know nothing about making Beth George to the rescue later this Sunday morning bagel And Nancy Giles invites us all to snacktime Americans certainly have an appetite for snacks. Most of us have at least one day be sought here. They can be healthy coral glorious coming up on Sunday morning. How we became a nation of slackers does the fight against world hunger have a secret weapon yes it does only is not so secret. It's Kate Hudson the Oscar-nominated actress who's talking with our Tracy Smith will talk about feeding the hungry, but Kate Hudson is walking the walk. Could you see the results. Absolutely, absolutely. We have very secure here is that the food she's the UN world Food program not so secret weapon, but I have another hundred days of a way to solve world hunger and all the problems around the world a little help from Kate Hudson later this Sunday morning. Turns out we don't know beans about beans.

Jonathan Figley Artie asked the proof smack dab in the middle of wine country is catching on. When I think enough about why don't pintos and single-handedly as the land of the cell, spilling the beans ahead on Sunday morning, much more besides on our phone issue for Sunday morning 22 November 2020 will be right back talking turkey this Thanksgiving might be a little easier for distressed families. Thanks to assistance from some hard-working organizations. Even so, Cowan tells us more needs to be done as a staff photographer for the San Antonio Express news. William Luther done more to help hungry Americans this Thanksgiving than anyone will ever really know we were hearing from politicians. They were calling each other, saying, have you seen the picture and people describe a very new you see the picture. The picture is talking about is this drone shot taken back on April 9. High above some 10,000 people.

The cars parked bumper-to-bumper in a vast San Antonio parking lot waiting for food look in his eyes is the stark reality of this session file print environment I can get that image out of my head in San Antonio to know how many places the picture went know what it was a lot I think it really helped put clarity on something that was really difficult for people to understand if there was any doubt that covert is deepened, America's hunger crisis. That picture dispelled folks of the San Antonio food bank as well as its hundreds of volunteer like Paul Drummond haven't seen the lines stop yet you know the kind of thing that thinking it's going to be over. Not only is it not over thousands of other all across the country this past week. This massive Dallas-Fort Worth always lines haven't come is that many of the people have never asked for food before. What would you do without them you will want to go to the girls thought long.

We are relying too much right now on the charity food system Diane Chazen Bock is the director for the Institute for policy research at Northwestern University. She found that in the first few months of the pandemic. The number of Americans who didn't have enough to eat surge from around 8 million to nearly 30 million. This is revealed some big holes in our safety net but there holds that Congress can fix since the pandemic started as many as 7 million people enrolled in the federal government's food stamp program now called snap Chazen Bock says Americans need at least a 15% increase in those benefits to survive, but negotiations over the next covert relief package are stalled in a lame-duck Congress do not believe that so many people are hungry they not gone out to see what's happening at these food banks and food pantries, those impacted most are black and teen Americans, especially those with children who are in need of food Catherine with his mother, fa. She lost her job as a housekeeper in San Antonio during covert life decide if you can pay a bill or not. Or maybe water like hardship is nothing new to San Antonio since 2013. The overall poverty rate in the city has hovered between 18 to 20%. That's nearly twice the national average in 1968 CBS documentary hosted by her very own Charles Kuralt put the city struggles with hunger right into everybody's living room news spent the last 10 months investigating hunger in America. The hour-long special offer an unflinching look at hunger in the richest country in the relatively short Catholic priest lives and works with Tokyo's Mexican-American goat cameras capture this moment with a young boy named Jerry they have a.

There told father always. But he couldn't afford the $0.35 for lunch at school. We found bruits now 85 retired from the priesthood living in San Antonio for dates yes is that never changes over time. That's what we have to work hard to make a change. We met them at the inner city development community center also houses the program we started after the documentary spent more than 3 million Congress and Italians, hungry people you find for people hunger probably fair to say that bruits never could've imagined San Antonio's food bank is busy.

This being low warehouse holds about two weeks worth of food every Cooper is president and CEO. Here are but hardly a desk job routinely walks a lot getting to know Sir in April. He was in the midst of that endless line apologizing to the hungry for having to wait so long. I wanted to make sure that those families knew that I was sorry and instead of being greeted with light. We been here for hours, I was greeted with a slight God blessed you think not a single-family left that day empty-handed of loaves and fish kind of miracle be performed here and all around the country almost every day we in life go through seasons of struggle, covert 19s created a lot of struggle but the seasonal we just have to get through go far to enjoy goals but you do know what you're doing to make them right. Martha Tyson has the whole truth. It seems downright best, George has to teach her clients to make bagels resume instead of in person right now it wonderful that a client in Mexico bagels in India ready women in Rwanda. You might want to open a bagel shop now now that George practiced law for decades before starting BYOB bagels can be be around boss bagels. It's also bake your own bagels and build your business.

Bagels were brought to the United States by Eastern European Jews in the 19th century. How did the Lebanese Christian and up one of the world's few go to bagel experts because of her son Spencer as a kid. He was diagnosed with serious food allergies.

When I realized that Spencer could not eat regular wheat anymore. I said to him when he missed the mouse and he said bagels, Beth, George told herself how to make bagels out of spelled in ancient relative of wheat, Spencer could eat and went into business joining forces with Frank Morrow who sells bagel and bakery equipment. He convinced her to stop making spelled bagels and start teaching people how to make the perfect New York style bagel. We like our bagels NER crispy on the outside to the inside for the record, her commercial kitchen is in New Jersey it's all about ingredients. The water obviously but it doesn't have to be New York water just has a good water bagel outside of New York very good one. She enlisted me. I think to demonstrate the is a piece of cake. I was doing.

Did you know bagels have to be boiled or steamed before their baked. Don't forget this mere Yiddish for what you spring on your bagel and the locks smoked salmon Goldilocks bagels outside of Boston. Yes Goldilocks is one of 40 or so businesses. Beth Georges helped launch Lindsay God. That was a business analyst for a high-tech company. Her husband Ed still is a chef right away.

Workers like you know the way out. Trouble water this much flour you do this Call all the way to Gothenburg, Sweden, where transplanted New Yorker Elizabeth Rubin in 2018 open Jimmy and Jones New York named for her father and his twin sister all but it was just all now got the real thing. America's black shafts have been shaping our country's cuisine since its earliest days. Contributor Mark Whitaker has been talking to a chef of our own time. Who's telling their stories right over the course of his storied career chef Marcus Samuelson has heard that a lot a TV veteran restaurant and cookbook impresario is always delighted by how her curiosity for new tastes draws us together smile your eyes get really watery warm you mean it when we knew that Iran raise and there's no entry point down and don't talk to me in finding an entry point. Talk about race matters a lot to Samuelson, an American by way of Ethiopia and Sweden. He's become increasingly troubled by our racial divisions chef what's my role and that's really where the rice the rise emotions latest book is his recipe for a national conversation by celebrating the contributions of black shafts and black cooking. I want to share stories about amazing people about this amazing country around the most delicious way about having a conversation about race, cook it needed to get so what matters. What is delicious, complex, layered his worldly local southern and his finger licking good. You may or may not fully understand.

But getting to Samuelson getting into black food starts with understanding its history so he introduces us to one of the fields preeminent writers Jessica B. Harris, how would you describe the influence that the black cooking tradition is had on American I think it's difficult to even conceive of the vastness of the influence. Harris says that influence begins with some of the staples of southern cooking actually arrived with enslaved Africans, watermelon, black-eyed peas get strange things that arrive here via the African peanuts and of course the big daddy of them all the music legends pod okra. We slip and slid into everybody's life. After that, the critical know-how for a food is essential to the south is rice. The rice growing knowledge came from West Africa, from which the people were enslaved. You can find posters that say slaves newly arrived from and that was sort of like a euphemism for these folks know how to grow rice tell us about the black shafts, founding father will or two of them that we talk about a lot exposing was George Washington's enslaved. He was reputed to be a dandy first. However, it is absolutely and probably the most famous of the early runaways left never caught it infuriated Washington when Thomas Jefferson represented the US the French court of Louis XVI, he sent for his enslaved chef James Hemmings Hemmings is in their kitchens learning French cuisine and then eventually petitions for his freedom which Jefferson grants run in slave or free cooking ham for others pixie for themselves. Samuelson says the vast majority of black folks work for little award or credit black chef was, like this anonymous backbone that never got acknowledge in food history. They serve as the inspiration for one of the many shops Samuelson profile Eduardo Jordan, the talent and the skill of the African-American cook is so billed in our DNA that I now give it to tell the story, a Florida native raised on southern food. Jordan says he pays tribute to his ancestor at a Seattle restaurant June baby oxtails slowly graze just like my mom is Louisiana style gumbo and this is a take on yams. This is southern food is best is like next level. Jordan is a classically trained chef and when he opened his first restaurant the award-winning Solari future European cuisine. He had an agenda. What I wanted to do is collect my muscles. I didn't want to be pigeonholed to be the black chef open up a black restaurant when he added African and Caribbean influences to the menu make me feel happy because I wasn't trying so hard to try to cook someone else's food when I could actually just do me and be me. There is more to southern food than what meets the eyes is a deeper story insight central to the larger purpose of Marcus Samuelson's book let the food do the talking only able to sit down and break bread, share our food tell our stories, we gain a better appreciation for each other when we cook together we start realizing how incredible delicious Americans yes if you think all means taste like the store-bought kind Jonathan Figley. He tells us, you don't know beans up the road from Napa Valley's great famous wine vineyards, you'll find an old chapel.

Now a home whose sole inhabitant is preaching about a different kind of crop. Sarbanes-Oxley look to the fable they want to grow.

Steve Sandoz beans aren't your typical garden-variety beautiful purple gunmetal color and as he explains, you can't find he's dried speckled gems in your local grocery store. There are commodity means which actually serve a great purpose. They really feel a lot of people easily and cheaply by protein, but beings are ones of the safer generations and their say because they taste like something where you source and from where do you find what that's like. That's really we've spent years and years developing relationships with growers and farmers collectors, farmers, and collectors mainly from small Mexican villages where seeds are revered like old handwritten family recipe Sandoz menu of more than three dozen varieties include everything from heritage pintos to his rare eye of the goat with flavors ranging from chocolate to coffee, the creamy texture like water, a bowl of heirlooms made with us was alive.

EARLY 20TH CENTURY WITH FOODS LIKE POPCORN, PEANUTS AND CRACKER JACK PEANUTS FOR ONE, BECAME POPULAR DURING THE CIVIL WAR WHEN UNION SOLDIERS DEVELOPED A TASTE FOR THE SOUTHERN CROP BY THE 1900S.

WE ALWAYS WANT MORE WOW THAT'S DEEP THAT DASTARDLY YES INDEED BUT SALT AND SUGAR AREN'T THE ONLY REASONS WE KEEP COMING BACK FOR MORE FOR A MIDMORNING SNACK ANYWHERE AND EVERYWHERE. SO WHERE CAN YOU FIND AMERICA'S OLDEST CHINESE RESTAURANT LUKE BURBANK HAS SAVED US A BOOTH.

THE OLDEST CONTINUOUSLY RUNNING CHINESE RESTAURANT IN THE US ISN'T IN SAN FRANCISCO OR NEW YORK. IT'S IN OF ALL PLACES, MONTANA.

WELCOME TO THE PEKIN NOODLE PARLOR CHINESE RESTAURANT AND THE UNITED STATES. JERRY CAM'S PARENTS, DANNY AND SHARON WERE THE THIRD GENERATION OF THE FAMILY TO RUN THE PEKIN, WHICH OPENED IN 1911 TRADITIONAL MOM-AND-POP RESTAURANT FOR MY MOM USED TO WORK HERE. MY DAD WORKED THERE ARE PROCESSORS AT ALL OR TEAR MY FIRST JOB WAS WASHING DISHES AND WASHING DISHES TODAY ARE WALKING AROUND THE PEKIN NOODLE PARLOR CAN FEEL LIKE WALKING BACK IN TIME. WHAT IS THE STORY BEHIND THESE BOOTS IS VERY ICONIC MARRIAGE. WE PUT UP IN THE EARLY 1900S FOR PRIVACY.

THIS IS SOCIAL DISTANCING FROM 100 YEARS AGO, JERRY'S FATHER READ THAT THE UNUSUAL ORANGE COLOR STIMULATED APPETITE LITERATURE STARTS WITH A STAIRS, SPEAKING OF UNUSUAL THINGS. THE PEKIN IS ACTUALLY UP ON THE SECOND FLOOR OF THE BUILDING. THIS IS GOING TO THE FIRST LEVEL WHICH AT ONE POINT WAS A HERBAL SHOP WHILE AND THEN WE GO TO THE WORLD WITH ALL THE LEGAL SCENE. OKAY TAHA. THERE ARE DUSTY KENO BOARD OLD BETTING SLIPS BASED ON NICHOLSON AND EVEN THE SUITCASE. THE TAMS FATHER BROUGHT OVER IN 1947 WHEN HE WAS 14 YEARS OLD IT WISHES HIM IN THE CIRCUS IS BELONGS. PRETTY AMAZING THING TO THINK ABOUT THIS WHOLE BUILDING MORE AND ALL THE PEOPLE WHO'VE EATEN IN THE RESTAURANT AND THE PEOPLE WHO GAMBLED IN THE BASEMENT ALL THOSE EXPERIENCES STEMS FROM ONE MAN IS VISION TO COME TO AMERICA. TECHNICALLY IT WAS MORE THAN JUST ONE MAN, GOING BACK GENERATIONS OF JERRY'S FAMILY AND EXTENDED FAMILY HISTORY OF CHINESE-AMERICANS IN THE WEST IS ALMOST AS OLD AS THE AMERICAN WEST SELF IN THE 19TH CENTURY, TENS OF THOUSANDS OF CHINESE MEN CAME TO WORK ON THE RAILROAD AND MINING, BUT THEY WEREN'T ALWAYS SO WELCOME.

ACCORDING TO AUTHOR JENNIFER EIGHT. LEE STARTING AND LIKE THE 1870S ONWARDS IS HUGE WAVES OF ANTI-CHINESE VIOLENT SHOOTINGS REPEATING AS A RESULT, THERE IS LYNCHING. THE HATRED CULMINATED IN THE CHINESE EXCLUSION ACT OF 1882 WAS THE FIRST TIME ACTUALLY IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

THE CONCEPT OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION WAS ONE OF THE WAYS CHINESE IMMIGRANTS GOT AROUND THE LAW WAS THE SO-CALLED LO MEIN LOOP WHICH ALLOWED RESTAURANT WORKERS INTO THE COUNTRY FROM 1910 TO 19, 30, THE NUMBER OF CHINESE RESTAURANTS QUADRUPLED. TODAY THERE ARE MORE CHINESE RESTAURANTS THAN MCDONALD'S TO CATER TO LOCAL TASTES CHINESE RESTAURANTS IN AMERICA CREATED A CUISINE QUITE DISTINCT FROM THE FOOD IN CHINA, FOR INSTANCE, SHOP SUING WORKSHOP CV AND MANNER IN WHICH MEANS BASICALLY ON HANDS SO THAT WE ACTUALLY THOUGHT FOR A LONG TIME THAT MY City WAS LIKE THE NATIONAL DISH OF CHINA LIKE THIS IS WHAT LIKE YOU KNOW EMPERORS A TODAY IN NOODLE PARLOR STILL PROBABLY SERVES UP ITS TOP SUING ALONG WITH ALL SORTS OF OTHER TIME-HONORED FAVORITES SWEET-AND-SOUR SHRIMP FRIED RICE AND NOODLES. JERRY ISN'T SURE HOW MUCH LONGER THE KING WILL BE SERVING ITS NOODLES LIKE EVERYONE THEY'VE BEEN HIT HARD BY THE PANDEMIC. ONE THING Is Clear His Families Pl. in American history is here to stay. The Spanish flu in the two world wars. So I guess people in view of my father loved the restaurant they would never want to see anything happen to Chris Kate Hudson has played a lot of movie roles is no secret. Less well-known is her role in feeding the world's hungry Tracy Smith sets the scene. If you think that feeding hungry people is hard work, try doing it in a war zone somewhere in the world every day people at the UN world Food program are trying to keep millions from starving to death. Out here it's a brutally simple equation conflict equals hunger and hunger on and that's without a worldwide pandemic clearly 19 has made a bad situation worse. This virus, it hurts the poor people more than anybody else when UN world Food program chief David Beasley took charge three years ago. He says he had 100 million hungry people to feed, but now were talking about 135 to 200 people talk about going to bed hungry and talk about people literally marching toward starvation this thing to do it right and doing it right starts with getting people's attention. Two years ago, actress entrepreneur Kate Hudson is appointed a world Food program ambassador visiting places like Cambodia to raise awareness and to actually help hungry people feed themselves.

What made you become so passionate about what got and when you start to get involved with blank. You not like oh I hope we find a cure. We have very secure. The food is available, so it's really about how we get there now you might say charity funds in her blood. Her mother behind, founded her own nonprofit to help children, but Kate's fight against hunger took on new meaning when she became a mother herself and met a struggling mom in Cambodia. There was another that was one of the mothers of a child in the school and she just had a baby and you know I sent you a feeling like this mother's. The first thing we do with our baby is we would do anything to feed and when Ron can explain what that feels like an email mental fear to say exactly when it became a household name. It might've been after her Oscar-nominated turn as Penny Lane in 2000, almost famous when she says she knew she do some good in the end being really famous. What you personally can do by joining forces try to be very real about one thing that I think I have a couple things is my personal hard drive that's one thing I have a platform and you know I got millions of people that follow.

I can have this opportunity to talk with you about it. You know, and so I hope that what this can do is bring a lot so much awareness that I can be a part of that.

Anyway the covert is creating chaos and disrupted the supply chain all over the world. By all accounts it's been a brutal year. The WF P there have been a few bright spots they managed to launch the largest humanitarian response in their history. You will not staff. To find out 2020 Nobel Peace Prize. Tell me about that moment when I was out in the middle of the summer just comes from meeting said Nobel Peace Prize Nobel Peace Prize and what will yeah well there like we did was the greatest in my life, and while while course awards don't feed hungry people and celebrities don't solve problems. They can convince others to open their heart and their pocketbooks to Kate Hudson the lifetime. Is there any comparison between the satisfaction of playing a great role doing a great in the satisfaction that you get out of helping out with W totally different feeling when someone feels more happy based on something you play when you realize that you're helping someone just see someone suffering of something that is simple is a little bit of it is just now you can help that is no greater contribution. I think being able to at least try to help as many people as the taste of mint livens up many and some other products that might surprise you. Connor Knighton takes us to the source in central Washington farmers pay close attention to the constantly fluctuating price of oil, but the crew that they're concerned with isn't on it's on top of it locked away in fragrant fields of myth oil is stored on the underside of these leaves little glands or sockets and that's what were after Kevin Gilbert is a third-generation mint farmer. This is a crop you can raise a family on Washington is the country's largest producer of mint full of family farms like Gilberts but the crop is sold by the spring it sold by the barrel so dollar wise how much mint we look at all probably got over $50 million of mint oil St. Mary's walls.

Craig Singulair is the president of Laffey meant founded by peppermint farmer Jack Levy in 1971 now contracts with hundreds of farmers to distribute mint oil all around the world. If you brush your teeth with some of the namebrand toothpaste or use the namebrand mouth washes or have consumed any confectionery product with mint flavor and it is very very high chance that you had Laffey meant oils in those products to customers include Colgate, Procter & Gamble and Wrigley.

Mint oil is used in everything from candy canes to aromatherapy treatments and a little goes a long way. It's very potent, so one barrel might flavor over 5,000,006 of of chewing minced natural flavor can vary wildly.

There are major differences between the two main species peppermint produce from the plant mint the paper. Rita and spearmint a.k.a. the spicata and subtle differences based on everything from where the members grown when it was cut monument has dedicated sniffers on staff to make sure each variety of mint is up to snuff our odor evaluators are really trained to be able to differentiate region region by region and how close to the controlled is a calm since mint oil is so concentrated need to dilute it. If you want to taste it.

We mix some into batches of plain toothpaste Meditech notes of toothpaste pallets are fine enough to appreciate the different. How would you describe what makes this unique.

I like the matters articulated tends to have a sweet characteristic as compared to some of the other governments. Of course most people aren't mint aficionados which is why the biggest threat to farmers like Kevin Gilbert is a cheaper type of mint known as mental are Vince's. It's primarily grown in India while argument creates whatever blends customers request, including oils from foreign soils. Singulair feels no place like home.

We really love selling the American to customer villages we know it is the gold standard around the world.

Somewhere over the rainbow is one heavenly cookie caliph SNA tells us about the heart of the rainbow cookie baking but I think that's what I love to get into all the corners is a sense rainbow cookie should be colorful, they should incorporate every color of the rainbow three years ago she started Zola bakes built on just one photogenic product, stylish new take on an Italian American green, white and red favorite rainbow cookie. Traditionally it looks like the Italian flag right right yeah but we decided make a pink, orange, yellow, cookie, green, blue and purple cookie Zola grew up in New York the world capital of rainbow cookies. At the very dense cake, which makes it seem like a cookie while rainbow cookies are in supermarkets and Italian bakeries across the country. She sells hers online and knew that we had something big and it's just grown tremendous family through social media. Just as no electricity about 100 years ago.
