Everyone loves it when an old friend comes over for dinner.  And we love dim sum!  This is a rerun of our 3rd episode, which was part 1 of an Asian Double Feature.  We'll have a fresh episode up for you next week!

This week's episode is a review of The Devil's Picnic by Montreal author Taras Gresco... an exploration of forbidden foods in various cultures.

Our very first vidcast - we hope to do more of these in the future, but keep 'em short and supplemental.

John's Uncle Al gifted him with a wonderful bottle of 10 Year Old Glenkinchie - which isn't in production anymore and that Tio Al has had forever. John was gracious enough to share the first sip with us - truly a once in a lifetime opportunity that we are incredibly thankful for.

• We are using Whiskey Rocks, as seen on Think Geek - but we got ours from Chapters/Indigo: http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/gifts/Whiskey-Rocks/837654927410-item.html These soapstone cubes cool the scotch while giving you the option to control how much water you'd like to add. Yes, we like our scotch at "castle temperature".

Thanks again, John and Tio Al for sharing!

Stuttering John's now has a food cart in front of the restaurant for quick BBQ fixes - be sure to try the pulled pork topped hotdogs!  Also, we discuss the newly available on Netflix TED Talks: Chew on This series...and becoming 5 day vegetarians!
