Don The Gourmet Neighbor steps in for us. He and Henry talked Thanksgiving.

We talked about some bygone restaurants of the recent past - Sesame Inn and Juniper.

Friday the 13th turned out to be pretty lucky for the Food Show. We had a great guest, Ryan King, Editor-In-Chief of the online publication Fine Dining Lovers.

It was Thursday, and that means a report from the grocery store shelves from our Grocery Goddess Nicole Dorignac. And the Mom Throwdown got a little wild with the addition of Michael 75. The Throwdown contest was meatballs and spaghetti.

Stan Meadows checked in from Las Vegas where he is chasing down gangster hangouts, and we reminisced about iris, and Beach Bum Berry's Latitude 29 which Tim McNally chimed in to talk about.

We talked about satsumas and the Tun Tavern in Philadelphia on this the anniversary of the founding of the United States Marine Corp, Burpee Seeds, and lemonfish.

It was national Split Pea Soup day. We talked about Tom Snyder and Borden Milk.

The end of the week, so it was a light-hearted show. We talked about nachos and Moxie and peanut butter and jelly, bearnaise sauce, and a not-so-good lunch.

Nicole Dorignac the Grocery Goddess called in for her Thursday report from the grocery aisles. The Mom Throwdown was cabbage. And we talked about polenta and grits and the sandwich chain Roy Rogers Roast Beef.

We talked about escargots and finger sandwiches and National Club Sandwich Day and we talked to Stan Meadows who is channeling gangsters from the Sixties in Las Vegas.
