Comedian and writer [Guy Branum](https://guybranum.com/?ref=cascadepbs.org) (*Chelsea Lately, The Mindy Project*) grew up on an almond farm in the northern California farming community of Yuba City, where he was forced to hunt pheasant with his dad and ate a steady diet of dishes his mom plucked from the trusty church cookbook.  
  
The centerpiece of Guy's last meal is his mom's juicy, cakey peach cobbler, a fairly untraditional recipe that he loves so much he included it in his (decidedly not food focused) memoir, *My Life As A Goddess*. But what is a cobbler versus a crisp versus a buckle versus a brown Betty? Seattle pastry chef, and lifelong baker, [Brittany Bardeleben](https://www.instagram.com/chef%5Fbrittany%5Fb/?hl=en&ref=cascadepbs.org) (Dahlia Lounge, Dahlia Bakery) enlightens us.  
  
Guys home town, Yuba City, CA, is the prune capitol of the world! But how did the innocent little dried plum get its not-so-savory association to grannies and staying regular? I consult the [California Prune Board](https://californiaprunes.org/?ref=cascadepbs.org) and food writer, and Big Time Prune Lover, [Gabriella Gershenson](https://www.instagram.com/gabiwrites/?hl=en&ref=cascadepbs.org), who urges you to give prunes a chance.
