Giant Pumpkins

By Eric Slatkin and Blake Smith

“Pumpkin” Pete Glasier, Jose Ceja, and Leonardo Urena are Napa growers competing against each other for the Peanuts-esque title of Biggest Giant Pumpkin, as awarded by the International Pumpkin Association. To find out how large these pumpkins actually get, and who won the 2008 competition, watch our first CHOW Field Trip!

For the CHOW Field Trip, we take the show on the road. From country farms to city restaurants, we visit the places your food comes from. The fresh air is good for you.
