Butter Cows, Ugly Cakes and Blue Ribbons: Welcome to the State Fair!

We dive into the world of state, county and agricultural fairs
with Marla Calico to learn about their history, impact and why
roast beef sundaes are all the rage at fairgrounds across the
country. Plus, we head to the Iowa State Fair to meet the woman
who carves cows out of butter and the kids striving to create the
world’s ugliest cake. We also get a crash course in wine from
sommelier André Hueston Mack and we make Eggplant and Tahini Dip.
