Dive into a sweet escape with our special guest host Fiddy and "The Fab Five" as they unwrap their deepest dessert opinions and share hidden bakery gems you won't want to miss. This episode is a sugar-coated journey through the world of treats that will have you reaching for your car keys to hunt down local pastry treasures.
Our guests reveal surprising consensus on some topics (ice cream beats cookies every time) while passionately disagreeing on others. When it comes to bakeries worth visiting, we uncover spectacular recommendations spanning from Corbo's in Cleveland to Jimmy's in Liberty and Oakmont Bakery in Pittsburgh—each promising authentic Italian pastries that would make any nonna proud.
The conversation turns hilariously unified when black licorice enters the chat. Every single guest expresses profound distaste for this controversial candy, with descriptions ranging from "if death had a taste" to comparisons we can't repeat in polite company. But it's not all criticism—our guests enthusiastically share their favorite candies, from Heath Bars to Reese's Fast Break to the nostalgic appeal of candy corn pumpkins.
As the discussion moves through morning coffee habits, birthday cake preferences, and even a tour of Hershey, Pennsylvania, you'll discover how dessert choices reveal personality traits and generational perspectives. The show wraps with a heated debate about pie superiority, with surprising contenders for both best (cherry, key lime) and most overrated (pumpkin, apple).
