It’s a surprise for two on this episode of Pot Pie when a guest backs out and director Rob Fee has to fill in.

Brandin LaShea keeps it simple with Pot Pie guest Jess VerSteeg, who brings the ingredients for organic veggie quesadillas. As they sip on Mood33 infused drinks, Jess chats with Brandin about her blockchain company, Paragon, and how her cannabis subscription service led to the opening of the cannabis co-working space ParagonSpace.

Pot Pie host Brandin LaShea teams up with comedian Luis Jimenez to make one of his homestyle favorites, bistec empanizado (“Which is a fancy way to say country-fried steak for Cubans,” Luis explains). The two pair the meal with some infused cannabis drinks from Mood33 to keep the mood lifted as they give some beef the smackdown.

Edibles host Birdie Harrelson is joined by cannabis event planner and floral designer “The Flower Daddy,” a.k.a.

The MagicalButter machine provides some evenly dosed cannabutter to both boost the bread itself and work as a great topping for the warm, finished product straight out of the oven.

Cannabis matchmaker and founder of Highly Devoted, Molly Peckler, joins Edibles host Birdie Harrelson for a twisted take on a traditional apple pie: caramel apple pie bars.
