Ted Allen exposes the truth on poppy seeds and whether a person will test positive for opiates on a drug test after eating a poppy seed bagel. Also, a trip to the pool determines if someone really needs to wait an hour after eating to take a swim. Finally, the Food Techs are put to the test to see if anyone can eat six saltine crackers in one minute.
Ted Allen and his Food Techs have a real headache of an experiment on their hands as they investigate how to prevent brain freeze. They also discover why aged beef from your butcher is gourmet and aged beef on your kitchen counter is contaminated, and find out what can be done about unwanted freezer burn.
