About this episode

This week, we share a story of revenge, betrayal and secrets … at a frozen vegetable empire. John Seabrook investigates why running “the biggest vegetable factory on Earth” led to generations of drama in his family, like a real-life version of the TV show “Succession.” Plus, Brendan Liew gives us a tour of Japan’s incredible convenience stores; Kenji López-Alt finds the best way to crack an egg; and we learn how to make Sri Lankan Spinach and Coconut Dal with Tomato Tarka. (Originally aired June 6, 2025.) Get the recipe for Sri Lankan Spinach and Coconut Dal with Tomato Tarka here . Listen to Milk Street Radio on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify
