—From 2001 to 2010, Food Network's "Unwrapped" gave viewers a behind-the-scenes look at how favorite foods were manufactured. Now sister network Cooking Channel is rebooting the series -- as "Unwrapped 2.0" -- to present the stories behind more popular candies, condiments and snacks. Host Alfonso Ribeiro describes the origins of foods that include everything from childhood favorites to the latest trends. Episodes often have a theme with a common thread that connects the featured foods. An episode about foods that are rolled, for example, includes stories of a family-owned tortilla company and one of the most popular rolled snacks: Tootsie Rolls.
