When you visit our first guest's restaurant, you'll surely be as enamored with Chef Ehren Ryan's menu as I was from simply researching his culinary creations. After speaking with Ryan regarding Common Lot, his restaurant which is located in Milburn, NJ, I learned that his mastery of plating the perfect dish was founded upon a global background. That same background, from Chef Ryan's own description, consisted entirely from working inside Michelin Star rated kitchens. This is most likely the reason Common Lot's name appears on NJ Monthly's Top 25 restaurants to visit since it opened in 2016, and why so many other publications and shows have praised him and his co-owner/wife's business. If you want to learn more about Ehren and Common Lot, tune in to this week's show!During our interlude, our own co-host, Amaris Pollock, takes you on a quick tour around the tri-state area for festive Fall fun! She took a short moment to help plan your festive fun this spooky season, including Pop-Up bars with Halloween-themed decor, festivals, and more! So get your calendars out and mark these events down--and get ready for some cheers, music, and lots of spooktacular fun!Our next guest hails from the Philadelphia area, and is a long-time friend of the show! Charisse McGil has circled back to her origins in the industry with her new role as the Executive Director of the Farmers Markets Coalition. As you'll find out when you tune in, McGil took her skills as a leader in the scholastic sense and as an event organizer and transformed her role to manage the Lansdale Farmers Market. She then found out the fiscal difference between running a Market and being a vendor. So when her daughter further drove the point home by way of a successful venture--McGil aided her daughter's business and started her own: French Toast Bites. Years later, McGil has found herself in a new role within managing farmers markets, only this time on a grand scale.
