This week on Cooking Issues, Dave takes a question that came in late last week about dry curing pork bellies. After the break, we get a caller questions about getting rid of sodium benzoate from a keg of Mountain Dew in order to make wine. This show has been sponsored by S. Wallace Edwards &amp; Sons.
