Three weeks into Phase One, where not only is society dealing with Covid19 but also the protests bringing attention to systemic racial issues across out country, Ken and Scott dive into what it's been like relaunching an entertainment company in the midst of everything ...

With the first full week of Phase One in the books, Ken Tuccio and Scott Thomas dive into the way they think the public has reacted to getting out and doing things under this new normal. They also discuss a perceived acceptance of Covid as a part of life, while the public begins to focus on other greatly important social and societal issues.

This is the first episode of Begin Again, a phase one podcast mini-series from Best Trivia Ever.

In this episode Ken Tuccio and Scott Thomas dive into the early days of the lockdown, the emotions they went through when the world began to pause and everyone was uncertain of what they were dealing with. Then, they discuss what went into relaunching Best Trivia Ever once the state began to reopen this past week, and how the company's first live event since March came together.

Ken Tuccio's Food & Drink Podcast returns next week, October 18th, with a brand new episode!

Recorded live on-location at this past Saturday's Octobeerfest In The Park event, put on by Half Full Brewery, spend the day with Ken as he navigates the second year of this killer event. Ken chats with Conor Horrigan, Andrew Dominick from Real Food Dudes and Jordan Giles throughout the day to get a feel for what went on behind the scenes and in the crowd at this awesome event.

In 2015 Noble Jay Brewing made headlines by funding a Kickstarter campaign to make their dream of opening a brewery a reality. Then ... nothing happened ... for three years. It wasn't until this year, 2018, that Noble Jay finally opened their doors and poured their first beers as a fully functioning brewery. What was with the delay? What went wrong? Ken Tuccio sits down with Mike Lincoln, the founder of Noble Jay, to talk about the long, long road they took to get to where they are today.

This week's episode was filmed on location at Two Roads' Ok2berfest 2018, which Ken Tuccio was the host for. While at the event Ken chatted with a few people who have seen this event grow from very small and intimate to the massive extravaganza it is today. In this episode Ken talks with Two Roads' Regional Sales Manager Dan Zeek, CT beer personality Tom M, Jordan Giles from Half Full Brewery, the founder of Two Roads Brewery Brad Hittle and the Event Coordinator for Ok2berfest Kristen Malski.

When Ken Tuccio first launched Food & Drink one of the things he wanted to do was a series of "With ..." episodes. Episodes where he shared a meal or drinks with someone and had a conversation ... not so much an interview, but more of a real chat. This is the first episode in that conceptualized sub-series. Ken sits down and has "Beers with" Patrick DiCaprio, the co-host of the Full Pours podcast. They discuss beer festivals, the boom of the CT beer scene, the new trend related to "one off labels" showing up in the market and more.

Evarito's Mexican Kitchen & Bar is the latest addition to South Norwalk. Ken Tuccio sits down with Christian Burns, the mind behind the spot, to talk about his background in the culinary world and how it all led to what he's doing now with Evarito's.

We're off this week ... but don't worry, Ken Tuccio will be back next Thursday with a brand new episode of the Food & Drink Podcast.

Catch you then.
