Join Us at the Table

Is tasting food simply a matter of putting a forkful in your mouth? Not quite. A special edition of Join Us at the Table explores the sense and sensibility of how we taste from three perspectives. Dr. Linda Bartoshuk, from the University of Florida's Center for Smell and Taste talks biology; Miami Herald food critic Victoria Pesce Elliott explains how she puts flavor into words; and Dining in the Dark founder Ben Uphues convinces diners to take a leap of faith at the dinner table.
