FRYday Podcast with Le Petit Poutine

We are celebrating our 50th episode! For the occasion, we ramble about the new year starting, Rochester's not-so-nice national news coverage and which of our favorite boss-ladies got left out of a best of 2017 countdown (again).

Plus, guess how many tons of potatoes we used in 2017 and win a major award! 

It's the Fryday Podcast.

It's almost Christmas! We talk how to be a Christmas-party show stopper with your small-talk skills. But, how would we know, since we haven't been invited to any parties?

Plus, it isn't every week a poutine-controversy makes the New York Times. We discuss this spud-scandel and more. It's the Fryday Podcast.

Our guests this week are the fellas behind Rochester's favorite online talk show, Rochester Live. We sit down with Ron Ferrara, Mike Scipioni and the Genesee River Boys to talk about making a weekly show and being chased by bears (among other things). Listen in if you dare. It's the Fryday Podcast with Rochester Live!

Are you settling into the holidays? We are getting in the holiday spirit a whole new way this year.

Plus we check out some food truck news out of LA and preview next week's guest line-up.

It's the Fryday Podcast.

It's a quickie episode while we finish up our much-needed week off after closing up for the season.

We ramble about when TV used to end, biographies vs memoirs and Liz's Buffalo Poutine-tasting. 

Listen in. It's the Fryday Podcast.  

It's the last day of service for Le Petit Poutine (for this year anyways).

As we get ready to close up shop, we talk about what it takes to winterize our food trucks. If you are a food truck owner, or owner-to-be, grab a pen and paper, because we are going to lay it out for you.

We talk:

• Winterizing your water system, 
• Propane efficiency, 
• And dealing with diesel engines.

Plus, Marty from Marty's Meats finally makes a guest appearance, whether he likes it or not. It's the Fryday Podcast.

This week our guest is Rory VanGrol, co-owner and friendly-face over at Ugly Duck Coffee. 

We talk about coffee-culture, starting a small business and making the decision to change direction when things don't go according to your original business plan.

We also talk about Rory's life in music and his beginnings in the restaurant biz.

Plus, we put him on the spot and ask him to answer all of our third-wave-coffee-for-dummies questions.

Listen in, it's the Fryday Podcast.

What?! Like most of us, Liz wasn't allowed to watch MTV as a kid. But she actually listened to her parents and never did. So, she hasn't seen ANY classic music videos!

We talk about this, MTV in the 90's and start making a list of essential videos for Liz to binge watch. 

And we talk about sick co-workers infecting your workplace and Liz is hitting the books again. Plus, we preview our guest for next week, and super cool, entrepreneur and coffee aficionado.

It's the Fryday Podcast.

Our guests this week are Chris Hogan-Roy and Eric Maira, local film makers. Their short film Pet Monkey (filmed and produced here is Rochester) is currently playing at film festivals all over the US. 

We talk about making a movie (in your spare time), their creative process and what it takes to work collaboratively as a team to make a project come to life. It's the Fryday Podcast.

You can see Pet Monkey this Tues, Nov 7th at the Little Theatre.

We break down a recent festival that ended up being a let down. A play by play of what factors might have impacted the overall success of this fest, plus what food truck business owners should consider when booking a big festival.

Plus, we air-out Ronnie's picky food choices, talk Halloween movies and our new favorite podcast that you should also obsess over. It's the Fryday Podcast.
