Niagara Food & Wine 2015

We apologize for our long absence - things are finally starting to settle down for us, so hopefully we'll be able to go back to at least a monthly show schedule.Also, the quality of this show isn't the best, but we figured if we ended up re-recording it (again), we would never get back into the saddle.  This episode features a very big shout out to our local, Buster Rhino's.  We cover the Drunken Milkshake BBQ, Tap Take Overs for 2013 and the regular menu.  This has been too long in coming!We also talk about our third annual visit to the Gourmet Food & Wine Expo in Toronto.  That trip was bigger and better than ever, and we look forward to next November to see what will be next.  Hopefully, the brewery from Niagara College will be back - Darryl, you need to get in contact with these folks.  ;)Lastly, we finally made it out to Guu Izakaya and had a fantastic time with our dear friend, Jayne.  She even pipes in about delicious octopus balls!  A grand time was had by all.Links:Buster Rhino's - http://www.busterrhinos.com/main/index.phpToronto Gourmet Food & Wine Expo - http://www.foodandwineexpo.ca/sitepages/Niagara College Teaching Brewery - http://www.firstdraft.ca/content/Default.aspxCaps and Corks - http://www.niagaracollege.ca/content/News/tabid/3508/EntryId/2147/Caps-Corks-and-Forks-returns-for-Round-Five.aspxGuu Izakaya - http://guu-izakaya.com/torontoGuu on Vice - http://youtu.be/C26nhTTwahwSapporo is brewed by Dragons - http://youtu.be/K-Rs6YEZAt8
