The Food That Built America boss sees similarities between his show and Drunk History

TheWrap

“The thing that Drunk History and Food That Built have in common is that there’s sort of a unique angle," showrunner Yoshi Stone tells The Wrap of his History channel docuseries, which returned Monday. "The great thing about a docudrama is that you’re not just presenting facts in a vacuum; you’re getting personal perspectives from the people behind these brands.  You know, you’re not just presented with, you know, ‘in this year, this thing happened.’ You’re sort of seeing the perspective of an individual going through the trials and tribulations that it takes to create the thing that you love. So it’s not like Drunk History, but it is alike in some ways, in that it has that element that makes it fun. I mean, the thing that I like about the show is that not only is it surprising and informative, but I think that when it’s really hitting on all cylinders, it’s also just kind of charming. I think that’s one of the things that really makes it go.”
