"I have tried to live my life so that my family would love me and my friends respect me. The others can do whatever the hell they please.” – John Wayne

John Wayne was an American actor tuned pop culture icon during Hollywood's Golden Age. His name is synonymous with Westerns and war movies.

His career spanned from the silent era through until the “new” Hollywood. Wayne starred in over 179 film and television productions, 146 of which were motion pictures.

For over three decades he was one of the top box office draws, and for millions, he personified America's frontier heritage.

Aside from his on-screen accolades, the man known as The Duke was an incredibly polarizing figure. A hero for millions and a lightning rod for controversy.

This episode will take a more in depth look into the man that the Duke was off of the screen. In addition, you'll learn about a movie of his that's so bad, that just shooting it, may have led to his death.

As a featured recipe, Chef Money is preparing a pair of side dishes to accompany his "Dinner For the Duke." This time around, you get one of the Chef's personal favourites - Chef's Cornbread.

Cheers!

"Never apologize, mister, it’s a sign of weakness." - John Wayne

Aside from his on-screen accolades, the man known as The Duke was an incredibly polarizing figure. A hero for millions and a lightning rod for controversy.

Over these next two episodes, the Hungry Historian will examine the life and legacy of one of Hollywood's most revered leading men. In addition, you'll learn about a movie of his that's so bad, that just shooting it, may have led to his death.

As a featured recipe, Chef Money is preparing a pair of side dishes to accompany his "Dinner For the Duke," kicking off with his take on a campfire classic - baked beans.

Cheers!

"Korea is where the cold war found it's hot edges." - General Matthew Ridgeway

In his previous episode, the Hungry Historian was able to guide you through the last years of the Korean War. In it, you learned of the stalemate, the armistice, and the terrible human cost of the war.

This time around, the Hungry Historian tries to answer a question that has been on his mind since he started this series six episodes and three months ago:

What is the overall legacy of the Korean War?

On this episode, not only will he try to come up with an answer to said question, but he'll also fill you in on some of the more "colorful" moments that have taken place between North and South since July 27th, 1953.

And... what would an episode of the Hungry Historian be without a featured recipe? Since this is the SIXTH and LAST episode on the Korean War, Chef Money thought it only apt to provide you with a sweet and fruity dessert. The Chef even went as far as to source some outside help for this one.

For the recipe and much more, listen now!

Cheers!!
