    We're BAAAACK! Episode 97 - Buster Rhino's, Toronto Gourmet Food & Wine Expo and Guu Izakaya

    We're BAAAACK! Episode 97 - Buster Rhino's, Toronto Gourmet Food & Wine Expo and Guu Izakaya

    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

VioletPanda ,

Foodies unite!

Love the un - fake approach they don't sound rehearsed and dry sleepers like other podcasts about food/travel, great ideas for food pairings at home. Sheila and Tracy have a great dynamic, funny and informative, makes me want to roadtrip and try stuff out too. can't wait to hear more!

Leethe ,

Makes me HUNGRY!

This is a wonderful podcast by people who love food, for people that love food. Great friendly tone and some tasty tidbits for your brain to snack on too! Keep up the good work ladies.

Jenn Strobel ,

A lovely podcast

Zwei Fat Chicks delivers a podcast that feels more like a friendly conversation at the dinner table than a podcast. Always interesting and informative. A true pleasure to listen to.
