We talk with Kate and Bryce Hansen, inventors and creators of the Ergo Spout, all about designing this kitchen tool. In order to bring this spout that can be used with a regular-mouth Mason jar, they did market research, made prototypes, and hired engineers to get it funded through a successful Kickstarter campaign. Listeners can still pre-order and get 15% off when you enter the code HUNGRY2 at checkout on their website. Also, Winter and Lee also talk about popcorn popping machines and try out interesting jerky that some listeners sent in!

Lee joins Winter on this week's mini episode (Happy Honeymoon to Sharon!) to talk about fried foods, especially ones you may find at your local state fair. We briefly talk about the history of frying foods and the science behind a good fried product, then jump into a "Would you eat it?" session. Yikes, that's a lot of fried food!

Because it's state fair time, we decided to talk about a requested topic (thanks, listener Chad!)--cotton candy! We get into the history of the World's Fair in 1904 and how it came on the scene and what was introduced at that World's Fair. It was historic. We also delve into how spun sugar was the precursor of cotton candy and how cotton candy is made. Fascinating! Plus, Sharon puts in her two cents on a rice cooker and Winter tells us about moon cakes.

We continue with our interview with Vanessa Chang, ACS Certified Cheese Professional, and she tells us her guidelines for choosing a cheese if you are new to the world of artisan cheeses. She also gives us a taste of producers and agers that she is excited about and shares some of the cheese combinations you can try at your next party. Sharon also talks about a camping French Press coffee maker and Winter tells us all about capers and caper berries.
