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.

We’re going to roll out a new format for irregular updates soon called ZFC Snacks.

A ZFC Snack will be a very short podcast, between 5 and 7 minutes in length, that will be posted normally and also posted on Facebook. These will be mini-episodes were we can review things that we really don’t think we have enough to do a full episode. For instance, we’ve done three book reviews so far. Fortunately we’ve had enough to do a full episode, but there are other books (cookbooks, food culture, etc…) that we just don’t think we can talk for 1/2 an hour about, but they’re really good and we want to get the word out. That’s where a Snack episode comes in. We’ve just upgraded our podbean account and since we have all this room to grow into, we want to take advantage of it with more content.

These will not replace our regularly scheduled podcast. They will update irregularly and without any logical pattern. Because that’s how we roll.

If you have a request for something you’d like us to check out and do a Snack episode about, let us know! We’d be happy to do it!
