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.
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!

"Old soldiers don't die. They just fade away..." - General Douglas MacArthur
After starting off with a great deal of action early on, the Korean War would quickly wind down into a stalemate, but that doesn't mean that there wasn't any mire excitement left in the conflict.
Join the Hungry Historian as he takes you through those tension filled years of the stalemate in Korea, which at times would become reminiscent of the action along the Western Front during World War I.
From there, you'll learn about the negotiations and events that would ultimately lead to a cease fire being signed, and the human cost that it took to get there.

“We’ve been looking for the enemy for some time now. We’ve finally found him. We’re surrounded. That simplifies things.” – Lewis “Chesty” Puller
Welcome back to Part IV of the Hungry Historian's (somewhat) in-depth series on the Korean War.
When we last spoke, war had officially broken out across the 38th peninsula, and the UN was trying to rally troops to stop the Communist horde driving from the North. After some early success, the North Koreans would be pushed back by the combined strength of the UN and US forces.
Outside of various threats from the North Korean's Chinese allies, things were looking pretty good for the powers of democracy. That would be until, say, a new combatant entered the fracas.
In every major global conflict, there is at least ONE battle or event that stands out over the others. One battle that would make it hard to forget even the most “forgotten” of wars. The Korean War would be no different.
On this episode, you'll not only learn about the intervention of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, and the Battle of Chosin Reservoir, but you'll also learn a dynamite recipe for a traditional Korean chicken soup - Dak Gomtang.
Cheers!
Dak Gomtang
Ingredients:
•1 whole chicken - 3 to 4 pounds, and cleaned
•10 - 12 Big Ol' FAT garlic cloves
•1 1" piece of ginger, sliced
•½ medium onion, diced
•3 green onions
•½ teaspoon whole black peppercorns
•Salt and pepper to taste

If there is one thing that I can say about the follow-up to the First Punic War, it definitely wasn't a "beat for beat" remake. In fact, you could say that it is even "better" than it's predecessor, from a historical research stance that is.
