About this episode

This episode revisits whimsical food stories, including a vegetable orchestra and a unique food competition.

We're revisiting some of our wackiest, most whimsical stories. We explore the music of the Vienna Vegetable Orchestra, where flutes and drums are replaced by carrots and pumpkins; Samuel West uncovers a shameful history of food failures; and we head down to North Carolina for "O' Moldy Night": the jiggliest, wobbliest food competition around.
