A minissérie inédita Gigantes dos Alimentos (The Food That Built America), do HISTORY, combina dramatização e documentário para contar as histórias das pessoas que criaram e ajudaram a construir marcas hoje presentes no mundo todo. Para gerações de norte-americanos, gigantes dos alimentos como Henry Heinz, Milton Hershey, John e Will Kellogg, C.W. Post e os irmãos McDonald são nomes conhecidos. Mas, para chegar a esse patamar, foram visionários e empreendedores brilhantes, que revolucionaram a indústria alimentícia. A minissérie apresenta quem são as pessoas que estão por trás destas marcas e como usaram seus cérebros, músculos, sangue, suor e lágrimas para chegar ao coração dos Estados Unidos através do estômago. Ao longo do caminho, construíram cidades, inventaram novas tecnologias e ajudaram o país a vencer guerras.
