About this episode

Lokelani Alabanza has created over 300 wildly inventive ice cream flavors. She shares the triumphs (strawberry pretzel salad), the disasters (barbecue) and the flavors she still hopes to bring to life (…crystal store?!). Plus, Mindy Merrell and R.B. Quinn share how country and bluegrass music stars contributed to the rise of self-rising flour; Will Coley travels to Palermo to sample pastries invented by Sicilian nuns, from the Triumph of Gluttony to the Chancellor’s Buttocks; and Linda Tay Esposito takes us on a tour of Penang.
