Burnt Food and Oz Museum

The Burnt Food Museum You might think the pancakes you burned or the truly spectacular failure of a turkey you tried to fry might be good for one thing: the trash bin. But at the Burnt Food Museum in Arlington, Massachusetts, you’ll get a different perspective on culinary disaster. With titles like “Thrice Baked Potato,” and “Sure, You Can Bake Quiche In The Microwave,” the authentically accidental charred remains of snacks and meals from across the US beg the question: is there a deeper, philosophical meaning behind the food we burn? Listen in on our conversation with museum curator and founder Deborah Henson-Conant to find out.

Frank Baum didn’t think his 1900 novel “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” would be a success, its persistent endurance over a century has proved him soundly wrong. “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” has spawned film adaptations, theater adaptations, prequels, sequels, and generations of little children waltzing around in glittering slippers. The Oz Museum, in Wamego, Kansas, pays homage to “all things Oz,” from the original novel to movies to plays to board games. Come with us as we stay very much in Kansas and talk to the Executive Director of the Oz Museum, Clint Steuve, about the history and contents of the museum and the story that inspired it.
