Frankie uncovers a secret ingredient you never knew you loved, along with the strange history of the prostitute's pasta. While nobody is certain of how carbonara came to be, this combo of bacon, eggs and pasta is glorious.
From the American origins of Apple Pie to the bizarre creation myth of modern Ice Cream, Frankie takes a look at the twisted tales behind some of our beloved desserts.
From pantry stalwart to gourmet favorite, Frankie demonstrates how mac 'n' cheese continues to reinvent itself. Later, Frankie shares the history of fried chicken, explains the KFC phenomenon in Japan, and whips up Nashville-style chicken.
Ramen was created to be a tasty, quick and cheap way to feed Japan... but it became so much more. Check out the history behind the phenomenon and enjoy extra adventures with Frankie!
