Why is the food so bad on airlines? What's happened over the years?

Join us, veteran cookbook authors Bruce Weinstein & Mark Scarbrough, with more than three dozen cookbooks to our names, as we share out thoughts on airline food.

We have a one-minute cooking tip about making better meatloaf. Then Bruce interviews with Jorge Gavaria, author of MASA and the maker of some of the best masa we've ever tasted. And we tell you what's making us happy in food this week.

Here are the segments for this episode of COOKING WITH BRUCE AND MARK:
