The Bloomington Food Revue is back! We get the committee together on a rainy Sunday to talk about more aspects of the Bloomington food scene.

We start off with a lengthy conversation about the best places (and dishes) that are no long with us in Bloomington. As one might predict, there's plenty of talk of Macri's and Grisanti's, but also some mentions of quirky favorites like Garcia's and Great Wall.

We then finish up with a discussion of the fine dining scene in Bloomington and why it has struggled to have much depth over the years. Is it simply a matter of population and the slow summers? What are the other factors?

The Bloomington Food Revue is an ongoing podcast series brought to you by the folks from CrimsonCast, where we attempt to touch on the cool and interesting parts of Bloomington food and beverage. If you've got questions or comments, you can reach us on Twitter at @crimsoncast
