This week, we kick off by touring the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile that just happened to stop at Jungle Jim's in Fairfield. Then we're joined by Tammy from Vanguard International to tell us literally everything we could ever want to know about grapes. Did you know how many strains of them there were? I didn't, I came to this interview thinking there were only two. What kinds of things did you learn about grapes this week? All that and more on the Jungle Jim's Podcast

This week, we kick off with a wine tasting thanks to Friend-Of-The-Show Johnny Catalano. Johnny's back talking about the Catalano Film Festival, his love of wine, and we bust into some CLOSEOUT DEALS on charcuterie, it's delicious. Then, we are joined by new friend John from Hint Water. I've done a lot of beverage content because I love a tasty sipper, but Hint Water is some of my favorite stuff i've gotten to try since starting the show. John's a great guest and I'm so sorry about my microphone cable falling ill on this one. Looking forward to a follow up episode! All that and more on the Jungle Jim's Podcast!

We're here celebrating one year of Oishii Sushi Bakes courtesy of owner Nikki Tran! Nikki joined us on the show about a year ago to spread the gospel of delicious sushi bakes and we've gotten to watch her grow and flourish in the last year. To add to the usual Jungle Jim's chaos, Nikki brought along the excellent Fat Ben of Fat Ben's Bakery to make a photorealistic sushi bake CAKE! I know, I too love the "Is It Cake!?" insanity and I'm so glad you're here to enjoy with us. We talk about our favorite restaurants, we talk Asian cuisine, we learn about what to expect from Oishii over the next year and also how Fat Ben got his nickname! Thanks for tuning in!

This week we're going crazy with deals for the Super Bowl! Then Brad and Josh of TCHO Chocolate drop in to have me try their new Choco Nachos - a savory, weird limited run treat they created.

This episode will definitely come in handy for me - but hey, so will some great foods we carry in the store, like former guests DohJoy and their low carb breads!
