Episode 5: “Mid-American Pie”

Motorcycle suspension is pushed to the limits as this crew consumes every pie in the Midwest...not to mention harvesting some morels and asparagus, a healthy portion of fried chicken livers and an extra helping of Luxembourgian noodles. Oh, and there's a shell button factory - more interesting than tasty.
