Paul Solman of the PBSNewsHour interviews food critic Diane Kochilas about Greece’s current economic decline. Kochilas purports that Greek food can serve as a great economic barometer to measure the current financial woes of the mediterranean nation.

Eventually it became prohibitively expensive to eat at a fine Greek restaurant because they no longer used affordable locally grow ingredients. For Kochila, Greece’s decline began when it abandoned the nations traditional rustic values.
