The History Channel's Modern Marvels series is one of the most fascinating and informative video programs on TV and many of its topics are about the food business. In Modern Marvels "Drive-Thru", join us for a ride through the history of car-culture commerce from the first gas station to the drive-thru funeral parlors and wedding chapels of today. We chronicle the birth of the first drive-in restaurants that paved the way for a billion-dollar fast food dynasty, and feature many lesser-known drive-thru venues, such as dry cleaners, flu shot clinics, liquor stands, and drug stores. And we'll take a journey to the future to see what products might be passing through the drive-thru of tomorrow.
