It's a celebration! Not just because it's a new episode of the podcast but because today marks the 5 year anniversary of What's Eric Eating! A huge thank you to everyone that listens, shares, subscribes, reviews, or however you engage with the podcast. We wouldn't be able to do this for the 5 years and running without you all. A huge thank you as well to all of the great cohosts and guests over the years. It's been an amazing ride and we look forward to providing more great podcast content to you all!

Now for today's podcast Eric is joined by Linda Salinas to discuss some of the latest news from the Houston bar and restaurant scene including Uchi announcing a new dedicated omakase space, Chris Shepherd's shake up at the tavern formerly known as Georgia James, and a new nightclub popping up in the Heights area. In the Restaurants of the Week section Reikina and The Warwick are featured. In the Guest of the Week portion Eric is joined by Tasos Katsaounis and Drew Gimma of Bread Man Baking Company. Tasos and Drew catch Eric up on what's been happening with Bread Man, the big moves the company has been making, why Bread Man Baking Co. made sense as the next step for Drew, moving into a space that's ten times bigger, the production load they manage now, how they're preserving the artisan quality with the larger production volume, putting Drew's stamp on the products, how consumers will notice the difference, the possibility of introducing other products, the future goals for Bread Man Baking Company, and much much more!
