In an engaging interview that covers topics like how margarine became a controlled substance in Wisconsin to the ingredients in a Carolina chicken bog, Brian Thompson talks about how he went from being an aspiring Republican politician as a kid to becoming one of the most embedded and respected reporters in New Jersey.
