The NC F&B Podcast, featuring a 3-part series of Lambstock 2017. We brought the team to Border Springs Farm in Patrick Springs, VA for the 8th year of Lambstock; a chef-inspired, invite-only, event that happens every 2nd weekend of August. As a podcast that primarily focuses on the food & beverage industry of North Carolina, we traveled up to Virginia for a unique experience that is known to many in the restaurant industry. No money exchanges hands. It's a collective of like-minded people bringing their talent and experience to provide food & drink for a few days while camping out in a sheep pasture. Episode 1 features the Lore of Lambstock. We kick it off with the Shepherd of Border Springs, Craig Rogers. Followed up with James Clark & Bill Hartley of Postal Fish Company in Pittsboro, NC and closed with Writer/Podcaster Amber Donaghue of Haute Dish in Charlotte, NC.

Episode 50 - Ashley Christensen of http://ac-restaurants.com We celebrate our 50th episode in style. Chef Ashley Christensen sits in studio to chat about her life, her family, and why she does what she does...beyond food. We get a little inspirational and tamper it down with some good ol' tales of the business. Ashley is truly the definition of a Raleigh chef and our bellies couldn't be happier. It's clear to hear that being a chef is only the first layer of the onion that is Chef Christensen. We are proud and humbled to have a legend in the industry speak to these two yankees from out of town. North Carolina is better for having Ashley Christensen living with our limits. http://ac-restaurants.com
