Unfortunately, for the last few weeks, the Zwei Fat Chicks have had the flu and were unable to record.

Fortunately, we have an unreleased snack to placate you with! We incorrectly refer to the show as “Clarissa and the King’s Table” - it is actually “Clarissa and the King’s Cookbook” and we found an educational site that you can watch the video on for free:

We found ourselves in the rare situation of being able to spend a week in Montreal, Quebec with a dear friend who was traveling on business (and thus shall remain anonymous).  All we had to do was pay for our food, so we decided to go.  This is the first of two parts.  We had a great time!

We spent a year in Orillia and found a TONNE of great places to eat for such a small town. Here’s our homage to Orillia, with all the places that we didn’t get only found the last few months, the places we didn’t get a chance to try and the places we went to all the time but didn’t really fit into any other shows.

On Highway 11, heading up to Ontario’s cottage country, there’s a great place to stop and grab a bite and … you know… make a pit stop.    Simple, good food at a great price - check it out if you’re in the Georgian Bay or Muskoka region.
