Join your host, Chef Alphonse Dente (just call him Al) as he talks
about the “firsts” behind such fun foods as popcorn, cheeseburgers, pizza, ice cream, and MORE! Audience members will learn culinary tidbits like: Where was the first ice cream sundae created? (hint: it’s the home of the Wildcats) and Who invented the first marshmallow? It’s a riddle only a Sphinx could solve!
