About this episode

The episode features interviews about pies for each state, grilling tips, and the history of hot dogs in celebration of Independence Day.

As we finish preparing our July 4th special coming out this Friday, we’re remembering a few of our favorite Independence Day interviews. Stacey Mei Yan Fong bakes an elaborate pie for each of the 50 states (Las Vegas buffet pie, anyone?); historian Bruce Kraig recounts the history of the hot dog; and Meathead shares some of his secret grilling tips and techniques.
