Rerun: Episode 2 - Breakfast!

This weeks episode is a rerun of our May 18th 2009 show about Canadian breakfast featuring The Rainbow in Oshawa and Hill's in Orillia. We're currently working on a cereal episode and need to do some further research before we put voice to recorder. Also, we might as well upload this one again since podbean seems to have misplaced the original ep.

Ep 55 - Cigar Overview

We have been wanting to do a cigar episode for a long time, so here's a not so brief overview of one of our favourite after dinner treats.

Ep 45 - Happy Snarko De Mayo!

It's been one year (roughly) of doing the podcast, and while we always try to do positive and professional reviews, we thought we'd take a page from Spongebob's Opposite Day and do an episode about the worst of the worst. Submitted for your entrainment, a little bit of uncharacteristic snark from the Fat Chicks! We understand that you may not agree, and that we may be ripping on your favourite place. For that, we apologize for our poor luck at being unfortunate enough to receive bad food/bad service. Please direct all hatemail to: zweifatchicks (at) gmail (dot) com. :) This ep does also talk about Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution, although not in a snarky way.

Ep 23 - Farewell Orillia!

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.
