Whether you lived through the 1980s or not, there’s no denying it was a pretty special decade, thanks to its distinctive pop culture: the hair, the toys, music, TV and movies.
The 10-episode series “Adam Eats the 80s” follows food author and culinary entrepreneur Adam Richman as he travels the country reliving his childhood and tasting some of the most iconic and forgotten foods of the 1980s.
Adam Eats the 80s: Cast and Plot!
The History Channel is premiering a new show starring Adam Richman called “Adam Eats the 80s”, in which the chef and bonafide 80s-a-phile goes back in time and across the country to explore, in Richman’s words, “the music, the moments, the fashion, and of course, the food” that made the decade so memorable.
Broadway World says Richman plans to check out versions of products that were never revealed to the public, but also to revisit the tastes and treats you know and love (and may have forgotten about) from the 1980s. So, if you’re someone who’s been wondering whatever happened to Domino’s breakfast pizza, or those little Star Wars cookies that Pepperidge Farm did for a while (or, if you’re a Gen Z’er who has no idea what we’re talking about), this just might be the program for you.
