Description

One of the biggest fights brewing for control of the Senate is taking place in deep red Nebraska, where an industrial mechanic and Navy veteran named Dan Osborn is trying to turn the backlash against high beef prices into a winning campaign. Osborn joins Helena and Theodore for a Forked conversation on this surprisingly competitive midterm fight. We dive deep into the state of his race against GOP incumbent Pete Ricketts, the power of Big Four meatpackers and how Osborn says he would break them up, why he thinks the Trump administration’s efforts to lower food prices won’t work, and more.  Forked fans, we're bringing FORKED LIVEto the Brooklyn Museum on November 4 for a special conversation with Top Chef judge and eight-time James Beard Award winner Tom Colicchio! Join us as we dig into the MAHA movement, the midterm elections, the challenges facing restaurants, and the fight for a fairer food system.
