Entertainer Taylor Hicks tastes his way across West Virginia, in search of the state’s most iconic foods. First, he rolls in before dawn to roll out some tasty pepperoni rolls. Next, Taylor visits a hatchery where the native brook trout is raised and released. Then, he scavenges the countryside for the wild and spicy, onion-like ramp. Later, Taylor puts some muscle into churning raw milk into tangy buttermilk biscuits. Finally, he bakes a dumpling from the state fruit: a Golden Delicious apple. It’s a heaping helping of wild, wonderful West Virginia, as we taste the Mountain State’s most celebrated foods.
