Foods By State 4: Wyoming & Washington

The GoGreenfields Show!

We’re so excited to be returning to our Foods by State series! These are always some of our favorites and this fourth installment was no exception. River was fighting back laughter when he discovered the main ingredient in Terran’s Food by State spin. What do you think? Are you up for a little (or not so little!) Geoduck?

A Foods by State Reminder

This episode is the fourth in a series called Foods by State. This is based on a list of crazy, unusual, or historic foods that have become associated with the states of our nation. Each state on the wheel comes with an assigned food that must be recreated by the spinner. River was the first to take the wheel and was awarded Wyoming’s Chuckwagon Breakfast. Terran spun next to discover that he would be working with his very own state’s unusual ingredient – Geoduck.
