Hospital food: Is it really as bad as we’re supposed to think it is?

Meet Bill, a hot cook at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Magee-Womens Hospital. He cooks hundreds of meals a day for patients with a variety of health conditions, dietary restrictions and personalized needs. Follow along as Priya shadows him and his colleagues through a 10-hour shift to find out what goes into these meals, who’s responsible for feeding patients day in and day out, and most important, how they pull the whole operation off.

“On the Job With Priya Krishna” is a series about labor and the people who shape what we eat and how we eat, and whose jobs often go unseen.
