Additionally, Pansino's cookbook, based on her series, spent six weeks atop the New York Times bestseller list.

"It was a major coup getting top food influencer Rosanna Pansino to do a baking show and Rhett and Brien at B17 are the perfect partners to bring this deliciously creative show to life."
