(collage original images by Erika Bishop)
In August the days are still long and evenings are still warm, the perfect conditions for eating outdoors.
On this first episode of JX Foodie, Erika Bishop and Will Smith join the Exchange to talk about some of their favorite spots for dining al fresco in the Rogue Valley region, in a fun free-flowing casual conversation. From casual eateries to fine dining, it's all about food, family, friends and community.
