Description

1020. This week, we shed light on quirky restaurant slang like “kill it” and “Chef Mike.” Then, we tackle the long-standing debate over what to call residents of Michigan — "Michiganders" or "Michiganians" — and what Abraham Lincoln has to do with it.

The "kitchen lingo" segment is by  Susan K. Herman, a retired multidisciplined language analyst, editor, and instructor for the federal government.
