You assume correctly. The skit i mentioned is in season 3, episode 4.
"Vegan cuisine goes under the microscope, with hilarious results, in this
imagined scene in the very real Portland restaurant Prasad. A middle-aged
couple have their first vegan dining experience and the comedy comes not
in the food, all of which is gobbled up within seconds, but rather in the
symphony of fart noises that starts percolating on the soundtrack.
Fortunately for the couple, they are not the only gassy customers. In just
two minutes, the sketch manages to comment on a rising foodie trend
through the well-worn divide between smokers and non."

Han Solo in Carbonite! Han Solo immortalized in chocolate served on an
almond frangipane tart smothered in dark chocolate ganache.
Han Solo Chocolate Mold:
Melt the 2 cups chocolate chips and about half of the bag of
Ghirardelli melting wafers in a glass microwave safe bowl at 30
second intervals, stirring each time.
When the chocolate is completely melted, add in the remaining melting
wafers and stir until melted. This should temper the chocolate so it
is not too hot. If the added wafers are not melting place the entire
bowl of chocolate into the microwave for about 20 seconds and
continue stirring until melted.
Place the mold on a baking sheet. Pour in the chocolate. Pickup and
"drop" the mold back onto baking sheet (about 1" from bottom)
repeatedly for about 1 minute or more until bubble stop rising.
Refrigerate 5 to 6 hours or overnight until ready to use.
Chocolate Almond Crust:
Preheat oven to 375?F.
Place almond flour, Dutch cocoa and sugar into a large bowl and stir
thoroughly to combine.
Melt the butter at 15 to 20-second intervals in a microwave safe
bowl, just until barely melted and not too hot. Use a fork and stir
the melted butter into the almond chocolate mixture. Stir in the
vanilla.
Place the chocolate almond dough into a 12x6" tart pan with a
removable bottom. Press in corners, sides and bottom.
Bake for 10 minutes @375?F. Remove from oven and let cool while
preparing filling.
Frangipane Filling:
Preheat the oven to 350?F.
If using optional berry jam, spread the jam on the bottom of the
cooled baked chocolate crust.
In a large microwave safe bowl, melt the butter at 15 to 20 second
intervals until just melted, let cool 5 minutes if hot.
Stir in the powdered sugar. Whisk in the eggs. Then whisk in the
almond extract and vanilla extract.
Add the almond flour and corn starch and stir well until mixed
through. Spread filling into pre-baked chocolate almond crust.
Bake for 40 minutes @ 350?F. Let cool completely in refrigerator
about 1 hour or so before adding glaze.
Chocolate Ganache Glaze:
In a small saucepan, bring cream, corn syrup, black food coloring
gel, and water to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate
until smooth. Let cool about 5 minutes and spoon over edges and sides
of tart to cover.
