Forked Live! with Tom Colicchio at the Brooklyn Museum

Top Chef head judge, restaurateur, and food advocate Tom Colicchio joins Helena and Theodore for a special live episode of Forked at the Brooklyn Museum. We dive into the political fallout of the midterms, the influence of the MAHA movement, the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, and the rising costs threatening independent restaurants. Plus, we explore the power of the Big Four meatpackers, New York City’s proposed public grocery stores, the changing politics of nutrition, and whether food policy could become a defining issue in the 2028 presidential election.
