 Whiskey dinners promise sophistication and indulgence, but do they actually deliver a great dining experience? In this episode of Bottles & Bites Without Borders, we dive into the reasons why whiskey and multi-course meals often don’t mix. From palate fatigue to overpowering flavors, we break down the science behind why whiskey struggles to complement food in the same way wine or beer can. Plus, we’ll explore creative ways to enjoy whiskey alongside a meal—without overwhelming your taste buds. Whether you’re a whiskey lover or just curious, this is one episode you won’t want to miss!

In this deliciously informative episode of Bottles & Bites Without Borders, we take a deep dive into the fascinating history of one of the world’s most beloved foods: pizza. We trace its humble beginnings in Naples, Italy, where simple flatbreads were topped with modest ingredients like tomatoes, cheese, and basil. But pizza’s story doesn't stop there—it’s a tale of migration, reinvention, and cultural adaptation.

Join us as we explore how pizza journeyed across the globe, evolving into iconic styles like New York’s thin crust, Chicago’s deep dish, and Tokyo’s seafood-inspired creations. We’ll also bust some common myths, including whether Queen Margherita really inspired the famous pizza or if that’s just a saucy tale.

From wood-fired ovens to pizza chains, we discuss how pizza has become a symbol of comfort food and creativity around the world.

Whether you're a pizza purist or a pineapple-on-pizza enthusiast, this episode will have you craving your next bite.
