We are certainly in "high spirits" today on HRN Happy Hour with guests Kara Newman and Neal Hirtzel!

Kara is the author of the newly published Road Soda: Recipes and Techniques for Making Great Cocktails on-the-go, Anywhere. This also happens to be the fifth HRN show she's appeared in – welcome to the "five-timers club," Kara!

Neal is one of the guys behind California’s Native Son Alehouse, a craft beer pub that rotates 27 of the finest brews that west coast has to offer. Neal also happens to be an HRN super-fan, so we couldn't be more thrilled to have him in the shipping containers.

On today's show, we recap our fabulous trip to Shacksbury's Harvest Camp (aka #Shackscamp), where we foraged for apples, made new friends, ate delicious cheeses, and drank our weight in ciders and cider spritzes.

After talking all about the art of drinkin' on the go, we challenge Kara and Neal to a little travel booze trivia.... spoiler alert, they totally nail it.

She is also the author of cookbook Ultimate Dining Hall Hacks, which takes us through her four year exploration of dining halls across the country and how to make the most out of boring cafeteria cuisine. She's got a new cookbook in the works that's all about her elegant and talented and extremely-skilled-in-the-kitchen mom, and the hybridized Indian food (#Indianish) that she fed her family growing up.

Because Priya is from Texas, we're ending the show with some Lone Star State trivia!

It's our fall season premiere! On an episode of GIANT proportions, we're joined by Jason Vincent, Ben Lustbader, and Josh Perlman of the rightfully named Chicago restaurant, Giant.
