This week, we’re sitting down with “Modern Family” star Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who once scored an invite to Passover at Joan Rivers’ house and can’t stop eavesdropping at restaurants. Plus, we hear the music of the Vienna Vegetable Orchestra; A Way With Words teaches us the language of the grill; and we prepare Yucatecan Citrus-Marinated Pork Tacos, just in time for summer.

Questions in this episode:

"Can you help me recreate a lemon poundcake recipe?"

"I’m exhausted by the process of rolling out shortbread. Is there a recipe that makes the process faster?"

"What technique should I use to get my merengue higher on my key lime and lemon merengue pies?"
