You think you know the difference between a fruit and a vegetable. But you probably don't. We met with Dr. Tim Coolong of the University of Georgia College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences to find out what's really what. You can see the full results in our gameshow in the whole episode....
Josh Johnson has tried a little bit of everything at his Old Tyme Bean Co. and farming operation in South Carolina. He drew the line at edamame — hard to spell, hard to grow. But like basketball great Michael Jordan says, failure breeds champions.

Barbecue is a time-honored tradition around the globe, a treasured part of virtually every world cuisine. We happen to believe it was perfected at Fresh Air Barbecue in Jackson, GA, nigh on a century ago. There aren't a lot of barbecue schools. You don't go to a university to learn how to do...
We discovered barbecue before we even discovered how to tame fire. And once we figured out how to make fire on purpose — and control it — nothing changed the world more. That happened about 750,000 years ago. Astonishingly, even though we had all the ingredients, we didn't perfect the process...
