Food Travel USA with Elizabeth Dougherty Album: The TRUTH About Food and Travel Original Broadcast Date: 01/27/2016 BEFORE THE 28 PAGES WERE RELEASED On January 27, 2016, Elizabeth interviewed former Florida Governor and U.S. Senator Bob Graham. At the time, 28 pages from the congressional investigation into the September 11 attacks remained classified. Nobody outside a relatively small circle of government officials was allowed to read them. Bob Graham had. And he wanted the rest of us to see them. Graham had served as chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee and co-chaired, with Florida Congressman Porter Goss, the Joint Congressional Inquiry into the intelligence failures surrounding September 11. This was separate from the later, much more highly politicized "9/11 Commission Report." The Joint Inquiry completed its work in 2002, but an entire section dealing with possible sources of foreign support for some of the hijackers was withheld from the public. Those became known simply as "the 28 pages." When we spoke with Graham, they had been secret for nearly 13 years. Elizabeth asked him a pretty simple question: If the purpose of investigating 9/11 was to tell the American people what happened, why were 28 pages of that investigation being kept from the American people? That's when the conversation got interesting. Graham couldn't tell us exactly what was in those pages. They were still classified. But he could tell us where they pointed. SAUDI ARABIA Graham told us the withheld material dealt primarily with the question of who provided financial and other support connected with the September 11 attacks. And when Elizabeth pressed him about Saudi Arabia, he didn't exactly tell her she was looking in the wrong direction. Quite the opposite. Graham made clear that the material raised serious questions concerning Saudi connections to people who assisted some of the hijackers. There was an almost strange dance taking place during the interview. We could ask the questions. Graham knew the answers. But there were details he simply could not discuss while the material remained classified. So we kept pushing right up against the fence. Who classified it? Why was it classified? Was the decision really about national security? Why had the Bush administration refused to release it? And, after seven years in office, why hadn't President Obama released it either? Graham believed the long relationship between the United States and Saudi Arabia played a major role. He argued that keeping the information secret was not protecting the American people and that Americans deserved to see the evidence and draw their own conclusions. Then we asked him something that seems even more important today. If the 28 pages were released, would that be everything? Or were there other investigative records sitting behind those pages that would remain classified? Graham's answer was essentially: there was more. The 28 pages represented only part of the underlying investigative material, and Graham believed those records should eventually be made public as well. THEN, 170 DAYS LATER... On July 15, 2016, just 170 days after our interview, the federal government finally released the 28 pages and suddenly we could see some of what Bob Graham had been carefully talking around. The pages discussed contacts between two of the hijackers, Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar, and people investigators believed, (or wanted to sell to the American people) may have had connections with Saudi government officials or institutions. One of the central names was Omar al-Bayoumi , who met the two men shortly after their arrival in Southern California and helped them find an apartment and establish themselves in San Diego. The material also examined other Saudi-linked individuals and financial relationships. But there is an important distinction. The 28 pages did not establish that the Saudi government ordered the September 11 attacks, nor did they constitute a final finding that senior Saudi officials knowingly financed the plot. The material contained intelligence reports, investigative leads, allegations and unanswered questions, some of which had not been independently verified when the Joint Inquiry completed its work. The later 9/11 Commission concluded that it found no evidence that the Saudi government as an institution or senior Saudi officials individually funded al-Qaeda, while acknowledging that Saudi Arabia had been an important source of private funding for the organization. But that wasn't the end of the story either. Years later, additional FBI records were released concerning an investigation known as Operation Encore . Those records show that the FBI continued investigating whether Bayoumi and other Saudi-linked individuals knowingly assisted Hazmi and Mihdhar after they arrived in the United States. The FBI investigation specifically examined whether that assistance was provided with knowledge that the two men intended to commit an act of terrorism. Which takes me right back to the question we asked Bob Graham in 2016: Are the 28 pages everything?

2026-0807 FOOD TRAVEL USA WITH ELIZABETH DOUGHERTY The TRUTH About Food and Travel Album: The TRUTH About Food & Travel 080726 Original Broadcast Date: 08/07/26 FULL SHOW RECAP: Is that fruit actually real? That's one of the questions Elizabeth is asking this week on Food Travel USA, and once again, the answer may be hiding in the fine print on the label. We take a closer look at the rules that allow food companies to sell products covered with pictures and references to blueberries, even when what's actually inside may bear very little resemblance to the fruit you thought you were buying. Elizabeth's message is one you've heard from us before: turn the package around and READ THE LABEL. There is some encouraging news on the food side too. Elizabeth caught up with Katrina Frey of Frey Vineyards , a company we've talked about and supported because their philosophy fits closely with something we've been saying for years: people deserve to know what's actually in the things they eat and drink. They talk about organic wine, what goes into conventional winemaking, and why Frey has chosen a very different way of doing it. We also run through this week's food news, another Top 10, and some of the stories that have us wondering exactly how far the food industry thinks it can stretch the meaning of words printed on a package. Then in Hour Two, the airlines and the Department of Transportation are fighting again, and this time it's over something every traveler should care about: knowing what your trip is really going to cost before you buy the ticket. Airline fee transparency is back in the spotlight, with the industry pushing back against rules requiring clearer disclosure of fees. But not every airline is taking the same position, and we look at who is siding with travelers and who is fighting to keep the current system. Then, because apparently getting passengers and their luggage from Point A to Point B without creating national news remains an unreasonable expectation, we have another edition of Airline Debacles . We'll also count down another travel Top 10 before Elizabeth takes us somewhere completely different for this week's Destination Unknown . It's two hours of food, travel, consumer information, a few laughs, and the kind of stories that usually leave us asking the same question: Why didn't somebody tell us this before? Food Travel USA. The truth about food and travel since 2010.

We also examine troubling contamination findings involving jarred banana baby food, along with the broader question of how much parents can really trust what is marketed as safe. In travel, we cover airport delays, confusing airfare rules, lost luggage technology, and vacation deals that aren't nearly as generous as advertised. Plus, practical RV advice for dealing with a refrigerator that stops cooling, and a trip to New Orleans for Bananas Foster and then to the California desert for one of the strangest banana museums anywhere.

The show begins with Food News and Commentary, then pulls back the curtain on professional server training and why it can make or break your restaurant experience. A two-part feature on fertilizer explores how modern food production depends on it and why decisions made far from the farm can have real consequences for consumers. Elizabeth also examines what your food cravings may be trying to tell you and revisits a remarkable conversation with Dr. Terry Vrain, whose thoughts on GMOs and modern agriculture continue to spark debate years later. In Hour Two, Travel News, Airline Debacles, and Cruise News cover the latest developments affecting travelers, while RV Tips & Tales shares an important warning about RV consignment. The show wraps up with a look at Microsoft's Windows 11 privacy concerns and a fascinating trip beneath the Lincoln Memorial to discover a hidden piece of American history that few visitors ever get to see.

2026-0518 FOOD TRAVEL USA WITH ELIZABETH DOUGHERTY The TRUTH About Food and Travel Album: The TRUTH About Food & Travel 060826 Original Broadcast Date: 06/08/26 FULL SHOW: After an update on Food News, Elizabeth has a warning the mainstream media hasn't caught up to yet: the global fertilizer supply is running out, the farms are already feeling it, and your grocery store has a countdown clock that nobody in Washington is talking about. And the Top 10 Food Cravings segment reframes everything you thought you knew about willpower, revealing the specific nutritional deficiencies driving the urges your body refuses to let you ignore. You'll hear how Canada has been quietly erasing the GMO fingerprint from ultraprocessed food ingredients before they ever cross the border into the United States, with former Canadian government scientist Dr. Thierry Vrain as the insider witness who spent thirty years defending the lie before he finally stopped. The Windows 11 privacy segment reveals how Microsoft turned a routine software upgrade into a surveillance agreement most users clicked through in three seconds, with Copilot so deeply embedded in the operating system that your personal files, photos, and financial records are being vacuumed out in real time. Elizabeth also takes listeners underground to the Lincoln Memorial Undercroft, the forgotten chamber beneath one of America's most iconic monuments that has been hiding in plain sight since 1922.

Food Travel USA with Elizabeth Dougherty Album: The TRUTH About Food and Travel 060826 Original Broadcast Date: 06/08/26 A Conway, Arkansas RV dealer is currently facing three felony theft charges. Customers handed him their campers and trailers on consignment, trusting him to sell their rigs and cut them a check, and never saw a dime. Other buyers paid in full and never received a title. Conway police say more victims are likely out there who haven't even filed a report yet. This is not a new story. It is a story that keeps happening because consignment sounds simple and most sellers never read the fine print before handing over the keys to an asset worth fifty, a hundred, or two hundred thousand dollars. Elizabeth walks you through exactly what to demand before you sign anything. Get a written agreement before the rig leaves your driveway. Know your state's payment timeline law. Never surrender the original title until a check has cleared. Verify the dealer is licensed and bonded through your state DMV. Visit the lot regularly and confirm your rig is still there. Build a return deadline into the agreement. And seriously consider whether consignment is the right move at all when private sale and auction platforms are increasingly viable alternatives. The bottom line is this: trust is fine. A signed contract, a retained title, and a verified license are better. This week's RV Tips and Tales is the segment you want to hear before you ever walk into a consignment lot.

Food Travel USA with Elizabeth Dougherty Album: The TRUTH About Food and Travel 060826 Original Broadcast Date: 06/08/26 Twenty-five years ago, in the weeks after September 11th, two pieces of legislation changed the way Americans Your food cravings are not a character flaw. They are a communication system. This week Elizabeth breaks down the top ten things your body is actually asking for when you reach for the chips, the chocolate, the red meat, or the ice, and what the science says is really going on underneath those urges. Constant sugar cravings often signal chromium deficiency, which disrupts insulin regulation and creates a relentless cycle of craving, spiking, and crashing. Chocolate cravings point to magnesium, a mineral nearly half of Americans are low on, and one that burns fastest under stress. Salt cravings indicate dehydration or adrenal fatigue. Red meat cravings are your body flagging iron or zinc deficiency. Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency on earth. Carb cravings are frequently about serotonin, not hunger. Dairy cravings signal calcium. Coffee cravings can indicate low phosphorus levels affecting cellular energy metabolism. And compulsive ice chewing is a documented symptom of iron deficiency anemia serious enough that doctors have a clinical name for it. Before you blame willpower, Elizabeth says, consider that your body may be trying to tell you something specific in the only language it knows you'll respond to. This Top 10 is part consumer science, part nutrition education, and entirely the kind of practical information that never shows up on a food label but probably should. Listen to what you're craving. Your body has been trying to talk to you.

Food Travel USA with Elizabeth Dougherty Album: The TRUTH About Food and Travel 060826 Original Broadcast Date: 06/08/26 Travel news this week had range. Start with the most avoidable disaster of the Memorial Day weekend: an RV driver in Montrose, Colorado dumped his black water waste tank directly into a Maverik gas station's underground diesel supply after mistaking the diesel tank inlet for an RV dump station. The pumps shut down immediately. Cleanup crews were called. Nobody has been identified or charged. This actually happened. On a more encouraging note, Amtrak has proposed a new passenger rail corridor connecting Atlanta to Charlotte, two of the fastest growing metro areas in the Southeast with zero intercity rail service between them. The route would run approximately four hours with stops in Spartanburg and Greenville. Amtrak calls it a top expansion priority and it is currently in environmental review. Dolly Parton is opening a travel center in her hometown of Sevierville, Tennessee, with a gas station, convenience store, restaurant, and retail space themed around her life and music, developed by Dollywood's parent company. The airline industry is moving toward a lifetime passenger ban database that would allow carriers to share misconduct records and bar unruly flyers across all participating airlines. And the State Department has expanded its Mexico travel warning with additional Level 2 advisories, even as more than 35 million Americans make the trip annually. Elizabeth puts it all in context with the straight talk the travel industry counts on from Food Travel USA.

Food Travel USA with Elizabeth Dougherty Album: The TRUTH About Food and Travel 060826 Original Broadcast Date: 06/08/26 This week on Servers Revenge we hear from Gina, an experienced server who has made it her mission to train the next generation of restaurant professionals how to actually do the job right. According to Gina, doing it right comes down to four keys, four fundamentals that separate the servers who scrape by on 15 percent from the ones who build a loyal following and a real income. The first key is creating a unique dining experience for every single person at the table, not running a transaction but building a moment. The best restaurants have figured out that customer retention doesn't come from the kitchen alone. It comes from empowering servers to immediately fix problems the moment they arise, without a manager, without a delay, and without an excuse. Gina also breaks down why honesty about kitchen delays actually increases tips rather than decreases them, because customers reward transparency when they feel respected. And she makes the case that genuine service earns trust, and trust is what ultimately earns the sale. The Restaurant Launch is the consulting firm behind this training and they teach servers how to make money for the restaurant and for themselves at the same time. If you're working in a restaurant right now, or managing one, or thinking about either, this is seven minutes that will change how you think about the floor. Gina doesn't just train servers. She teaches professionals how to build a career out of something most people treat as a temporary job.

Food Travel USA with Elizabeth Dougherty Album: The TRUTH About Food and Travel 060826 Original Broadcast Date: 06/08/26 The food system has a fertilizer problem and almost nobody in mainstream media is talking about it seriously. The global supply of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, the three pillars of modern agricultural production, is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a small number of countries and an even smaller number of corporations. When that supply gets disrupted, the ripple moves fast: from the farm to the commodity market to the grocery shelf, often within a single growing season. And the disruptions are already happening. Sanctions, trade conflicts, energy costs, and weather events are simultaneously squeezing production and distribution at a scale that most American consumers have never had to consider. The farmers feel it first. They absorb the cost, scale back, or exit the business entirely. The consolidation that follows is exactly the kind that Food Travel USA has been documenting for years, with large operations absorbing the land and leverage of smaller ones who couldn't survive the input cost spike. Elizabeth breaks down what a fertilizer shortage actually means in practical terms, who controls the supply chain, how the current geopolitical environment is accelerating the crisis, and what the calamity ahead looks like if the structural problems don't get addressed. This is the kind of story that takes years to develop in the open and lands like a surprise when it finally hits. You were warned here first.

Food Travel USA with Elizabeth Dougherty Album: The TRUTH About Food and Travel 060826 Original Broadcast Date: 06/08/26 He spent thirty years as a Canadian government scientist telling the public that GMO crops were safe. He was good at it. He believed it. Then Dr. Thierry Vrain retired, got off the government payroll, and for the first time in his career read the actual science behind GMOs. What he found demolished everything he had spent three decades defending. But here's the part that never makes the headlines: Canada has been quietly allowing GMO ingredients into the food supply for years with no mandatory labeling, no consumer disclosure, and no accountability. When a product says Product of Canada, you have no legal right to know what's really in it. And it gets worse. When that GMO ingredient gets ultraprocessed, the modified DNA becomes completely undetectable. No detectable DNA means no label required under American law either. The GMO doesn't just disappear into your food. It disappears into the ultraprocessed ingredient that's already hiding from you. A 9th Circuit ruling from January 2026 begins to close that loophole, but it could be years before it shows up on a single label in your grocery store. From the Food Travel USA archives of May 2013, Elizabeth Dougherty sits down with Dr. Vrain in a conversation that was ahead of its time and is even more relevant today. This is what sixteen years of telling you so actually looks like.

Food Travel USA with Elizabeth Dougherty Album: The TRUTH About Food and Travel 060826 Original Broadcast Date: 06/08/26 It was a week in the air that was hard to believe and impossible to ignore. Start with the near collision over Fort Lauderdale. A JetBlue flight on final approach nearly hit a small Beechcraft 76 from a flight school that was flying erratically and had gone completely silent on air traffic control. The JetBlue crew received a TCAS collision alert and climbed hard to avoid it. The two aircraft came within 500 feet of each other. The air traffic controller's on the record assessment of the other pilot: "That guy's insane." The pilot's response: "I agree." The FAA is investigating. Then there's the story that should have been front page news everywhere. Two NIH researchers were arrested at Detroit Metro Airport after allegedly smuggling 113 vials of monkeypox virus into the United States from Brazzaville, Republic of Congo, where an active outbreak was underway, packed in Styrofoam coolers inside a large black case on a commercial Delta flight. They told Customs it was diagnostic equipment. It was not. The U.S. Attorney said it plainly: "Let that sink in." And in the background of all of it, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin is threatening to pull Customs and Border Protection officers from airports in sanctuary cities, a move that would effectively shut down international travel at LAX, O'Hare, SFO, and six other major hubs. Elizabeth has the reaction and the details.

Food Travel USA with Elizabeth Dougherty Album: The TRUTH About Food and Travel 060826 Original Broadcast Date: 06/08/26 Cruise news this week runs the full range from genuinely cool to genuinely alarming. On the cool end: Holland America has loaded bourbon barrels onto all eleven of its ships in partnership with Jefferson's Bourbon, the same distillery famous for aging whiskey at sea. Six months of ocean movement, salt air, and shifting climates produce a flavor profile that can't be replicated on land. Each ship gets its own barrel, each barrel yields 150 to 300 bottles, and you can only buy them on board starting in 2027. Your floating hotel is now a floating distillery. On the alarming end: Royal Caribbean and MSC are confiscating Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses at the gangway after passengers were caught secretly recording fellow cruisers at pools, in casinos, and in buffet lines. MSC banned them everywhere. Royal Caribbean bans them in restrooms, kids areas, and the casino, and if yours are prescription, they suggest you bring a backup pair. Welcome to your relaxing vacation. Meanwhile over a hundred passengers on the Caribbean Princess are riding out a confirmed norovirus outbreak with days still left on their cruise. The CDC confirmed it. This is the second Princess ship to go down this year. The first outbreak in March took nearly 200 people. And Carnival has replaced the barbecue station on several ships with Chicken, Waffles and Waves. Half the passengers love it. The other half want their pulled pork back and they are not being quiet about it.

Food Travel USA with Elizabeth Dougherty Album: The TRUTH About Food and Travel 060826 Original Broadcast Date: 06/08/26 Most people who visit the Lincoln Memorial never know there's a room underneath it. The Undercroft, the cavernous space beneath the main chamber, was never supposed to exist at all. When workers finished the foundation in the 1910s, they discovered a hollow chamber large enough to walk through, its concrete pillars draped in stalactites formed by decades of mineral seepage from above. For most of the twentieth century the space was sealed off, forgotten, and used only for storage. Then the National Park Service began a major restoration project and the Undercroft was opened to the public for the first time. What visitors find down there is unlike anything else on the National Mall. The original construction graffiti is still on the walls. Scaffolding used during the 1960s civil rights rallies above is still stored there. The acoustics are otherworldly. And the columns holding up one of the most iconic buildings in American history stretch down into a space that feels like the subterranean foundation of the country itself. Elizabeth and the Destination Unknown team take you below the surface of American history to a place most tourists walk right over without knowing it exists. This is what the Lincoln Memorial looks like from underneath.

Food Travel USA with Elizabeth Dougherty Album: The TRUTH About Food and Travel 060826 Original Broadcast Date: 06/08/26 Microsoft ended support for Windows 10 in October 2025. Machines as young as five years old, bought new and running perfectly, were declared obsolete overnight. The only real path forward was upgrading to Windows 11, and with that upgrade came a new End User License Agreement that most users clicked through in under three seconds. What that EULA quietly grants Microsoft is broad, loosely worded access to your system for data collection, telemetry, and behavioral monitoring. And here's the part that should concern every Windows user: Copilot isn't an app you install. It's woven into the operating system at the kernel level. That distinction matters enormously because Microsoft isn't limited to seeing your filenames or folder structure. They can access actual file contents. Renaming a file doesn't protect you. Turning off the visible Copilot interface doesn't remove the access layer underneath it. In an exclusive interview with Claude, you'll hear exactly what the Windows 11 upgrade cycle really means for your privacy, your data, and your reasonable expectation that what's on your computer stays on your computer. The answer, under Windows 11, is that you don't have one. If you're still on Windows 10, you're running unsupported software. If you upgraded, you signed a surveillance agreement. Those are your two options.

Food Travel USA with Elizabeth Dougherty Album: The TRUTH About Food and Travel 060826 Original Broadcast Date: 06/08/26 It was a packed week in food news and Elizabeth had plenty to say about all of it. WK Kellogg is becoming one of the first major food companies to completely overhaul its packaging around nutrition transparency with a new system called SPOONS, which stands for Simple ingredients, Protein, Outstanding fiber, Other nutritious foods, Nutrients, and Single digit sugars. It rolls out this month on Raisin Bran, Frosted Mini Wheats, Corn Flakes, and Rice Krispies. Kellogg invented the nutrition label. Now they're trying to reinvent what it means. Meanwhile Doritos just launched a Garlic Parm flavor nationwide, and if you were hoping two years of MAHA pressure and a $50 billion market cap hit had taught Frito Lay anything, the ingredient list will disappoint you. Maltodextrin, yeast extract, potassium chloride, citric acid. New flavor. Same playbook. Walmart expanded its 30 minute grocery delivery to 33 markets, now reaching 60 percent of the U.S. population. Chick fil A is shrinking its chicken sandwich with no comment and no apology. Upcycled ingredients, food byproducts that used to be called garbage, are now certified and showing up at Whole Foods, Target, and Costco. And a Virginia woman is suing Outback Steakhouse for $1.5 million after slipping face first on mashed potatoes on the way to the restroom. Virginia is a contributory negligence state. Her attorney has a long road ahead. Elizabeth connects the dots on all of it.

2026-0518 FOOD TRAVEL USA WITH ELIZABETH DOUGHERTY The TRUTH About Food and Travel Album: The TRUTH About Food & Travel 051826 Original Broadcast Date: 05/18/2026 FULL SHOW: In 2001 just weeks after the events of 9/11, the TSA and the Patriot Act reshaped American life. Elizabeth Dougherty asks the question nobody on the anniversary specials will ask... how is it possible that such a huge piece of legislation was written, passed and put into place so quickly... unless it was pre-arranged! The Justice Department is finally looking at the Big Four meat producers and the price-fixing that's been emptying your wallet for years. Grocery Pet Peeves is back and the anger is loud and justified. Hantavirus gets the trivia treatment and the answers are more unsettling than you'd expect. Ring cameras turn out to be the easiest sell in the history of mass surveillance, and you installed it yourself. The organ transplant system is not the fair, altruistic network it was sold as. Travel news tracks hantavirus as it moves from health story to travel advisory. And ten famous restaurant failures get the autopsy they deserve, with the real cause of death on every one. Fifteen years. One mission. The TRUTH about food and travel.

Food Travel USA with Elizabeth Dougherty Album: The TRUTH About Food and Travel 051826 Original Broadcast Date: 05/18/26 he organ transplant system in America is supposed to be built on altruism, medical necessity, and a waiting list that plays fair. It isn't. Elizabeth pulls back the curtain on how transplant networks actually operate — who moves up the list and why, what role money and geography play in outcomes that are supposed to be purely medical, and what happens to the organs of people who die in hospitals that have financial relationships with procurement organizations. The horrible truth is that the system designed to save lives is riddled with the same conflicts of interest, opacity, and institutional self-dealing that corrupt every other corner of American healthcare. The waiting list is real. The fairness is not. And the people who die waiting deserve better than a system that was never fully honest about what it was.

Food Travel USA with Elizabeth Dougherty Album: The TRUTH About Food and Travel 051826 Original Broadcast Date: 05/18/26 Opening a restaurant is hard. Keeping one open is harder. And some of the most high-profile restaurant failures in American history had nothing to do with the food. Elizabeth counts down ten restaurant failures — names you'll recognize, concepts that seemed bulletproof — and the actual reasons they collapsed. Bad locations. Ownership ego. Concept drift. Debt structures that never made sense. Celebrities who thought fame was a business plan. The restaurant industry has a failure rate that should terrify anyone thinking about entering it, and the reasons are almost always the same ones nobody talked about while the place was still open. This list is a masterclass in what not to do — told through the wreckage of places that didn't survive long enough to learn the lesson themselves.
