One of Michael's first memorable run-ins with acid wasn't in the kitchen, but in the darkroom developing film in school. Years later, however, a forgotten bottle of wine turned to vinegar, which launched a global pursuit of vinegar and the people, places, and history that influence the pantry staple.

“Most chefs will tell you if a dish is missing something, it’s acid.”

—MICHAEL HARLAN TURKELL

We sat down with Michael at San Francisco's The Civic Kitchen cooking school to talk about the stories behind Acid Trip: Travels in the World of Vinegar.
