Just in case you think that a food show must be boring, in this episode Chef Joe Scully says the word “blumpkin” within the first four minutes of the show. ._.
For my part, I can be heard mumbling something like, “it involved my testicles” about halfway through the show.
Yep.
Aaaaaaaaaanyhoo…
This week on AVL Food Fans! Joe and I talk to local food writers Gina Smith and Jonathan Ammons from the Mountain Xpress, who are really great, and fun, and we touch on everything from fishing in the rain, living in Japan, and predictions for future food trends.
After we say goodbye to Jon and Gina, Joe and I talk about pumpkin and all of it’s many (over) uses this time of year. Pumpkin lattes, pumpkin beer, pumpkin whoopie pies, pumpkin soup… We agree that pumpkin generally sucks as an ingredient, but Joe does provide us with a pumpkin cake recipe, which you can read HERE.
Before any of that, we are joined by Jason Sandford from Ashvegas, who helps us deliver the Food News. This week we touch on the following:
• Charlie Hodge from Sovereign Remedies has purchased Old Shakeys on Riverside Drive
