On this day in 1935, the Works Progress Administration began operating. In addition to building roads and dams, the WPA would eventually create America Eats: a food history project documenting regional food traditions and written in part by Nelson Algren, Saul Bellow, Richard Wright, and Zora Neale Hurston.

To learn more, click here to listen to NPR’s Kitchen Sister podcast on American Eats, including an interview with one of the last living writers on the project, Stetson Kennedy.

    Apparently you are trying to do bad math on this particular page.

    I got a warning through bloglines that showed up on your site:

    Isn’t that bizarre? I don’t know what’s up with that.
