Grant Barrett and Martha Barnette, hosts of the radio show “A Way With Words,” join us to explore the language of food. They discuss why some restaurant servers ask “Will you be wanting anything else?”—instead of simply “Do you want anything else?” And they explain phrases that seemingly don’t make a lot of sense, such as “in a pickle.” Plus, Alex Aïnouz attempts to make a 1-million layer puff pastry; we learn the step-by-step rules to perfect curry; and Christopher Kimball and Sara Moulton take your calls.
