Which came first? Well, on this show, it's the egg. An eggs-pert (sorry, had to) tells us why the shell and yolk color can vary — and whether it makes a difference in taste.

Plus, a visit to Niecie's Restaurant to find out more about their chicken and waffles, then KCUR's Food Critics search out the best chicken dishes in and around Kansas City.

Guests:

Darrin Karcher, Assistant Professor of Animal Sciences, Purdue University
Denise Hayes Ward, Niecie's Restaurant
Charles Ferruzza, The Independent and Shawnee Mission Post
Jenny Vergara, Feast Magazine
Carmen Gramajo, former chair, Comida KC
