corn popper to continue making gourmet popcorn at home.

The episode covers a wide range of topics for both popcorn enthusiasts and aspiring

entrepreneurs. Frank provides valuable tips on achieving the perfect pop, whether using a microwave, stovetop, or commercial poppers, and dives into creative flavoring ideas beyond traditional butter and salt, such as truffle parmesan and cinnamon sugar.
