Listen "Can you really cook an egg on the sidewalk in Arizona? "
Episode Synopsis
The rumors might be true... the desert heat is hot– maybe even hot enough to cook your breakfast.
Just ask the town of Oatman, Arizona, where the annual egg fry competition has become a long-standing tradition. If anyone can confirm the myth, it's the participants.
But as it turns out– there is always more to the story.
In this week's episode of Valley 101, a podcast by The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com, we explore this Arizona heat myth, with the help of a climatologist, food safety expert, and small-town competition to answer the question: can you really cook an egg on the sidewalk in Arizona?
