In 1935, a war was started. But instead of with weapons, this war was fought with the stinky-est cheese people could find: Limburger. Hailey takes Alexis through the science of the cheese making process, the various battles, and then they put themselves to the cheese test...by tasting it. Join us to learn some history and see if Alexis and Hailey can stomach the cheese without throwing up.
