From food expiration date truths to essential cooking hacks- we are separating fact from fiction in the kitchen with our guest (and Lance's better half) Chef Meghan Bendish.

We get to the bottom of this and more! Plus discover Chef Meghan's cooking hacks for avoiding cooking disasters, including sticky pasta, and stubborn cakes.
