Tweet LIVE this Sunday, November 19th at 635pm Small Bites with Glenn Gross and Derek Timm of Bluejeanfood.com on Wildfire Radio is back with Derek returning from VISIT FLORIDA. With Thanksgiving around the corner we are focused on friends and family. This is the time to embrace, not shun. We want to make sure everyone is welcome at the dinner table. Lets help those who can't make make it because of addiction issues. Tonight at 635pm Small Bites with Glenn Gross and Derek Timm of Bluejeanfood.com on Wildfire Radio welcomes Tony Luke's Tony Luke Jr to talk about #BrownAndWhite #BrownAndWhite Pledging his solidarity to the victims and families of heroin overdose, local entrepreneur and media personality Tony Luke Jr. has announced an initiative aimed at heightening the awareness of removing social stigmas associated with use of the toxic drug. Tony recently lost his son to a heroin overdose. “The fact is, no one and no family is immune from this horrible epidemic that is ruining so many lives,” says Tony. “Too often, heroin users are accused of moral failings. Heroin addiction is not a moral issue. It's no different than other addictive substances, like alcohol or cocaine. To minimize such deaths on a moral level is just cruel to the survivors, and compounds their suffering and grief.” Tony is encouraging anyone who has lost a loved one to heroin to create and wear a brown and white item (the two colors of heroin) and share it through social media, in schools, local businesses, etc., using #BrownAndWhite. “There are many heroin awareness organizations and campaigns that are performing essential work in the realm of education and treatment,” he says. “#BrownAndWhite is intended to change the institutional perception that heroin users somehow deserve their fate.” He emphasizes that the #BrownAndWhite initiative is not designed to be a charity, but a platform to launch conversations between survivors and the general public. “I don't want to establish a foundation or a website,” says Tony. “There will be no fundraising. I want this to be organic. I want to let others who have lost a loved one to this dreadful disease know they are not alone. No matter a person's circumstance in life, addiction is a possibility. And there is nothing for them to be ashamed of. If I can help even one person, then #BrownAndWhite will be a success.” If anyone has been affected by a death from heroin, simply create a ribbon or a bracelet. Wear it. Share it. Talk about it. We're in this together! We have also whipped up a great lineup for you with all your holiday food and drink needs covered. We are happy to have on Andrew Oppenheimer of Peak Foods LLC and he is the Director of Sales and Marketing for truwhipthat is available at Whole Foods Market nationwide and many other retail locations. Peak Foods is committed to safety, quality and environmental sustainability, as well as health and taste. The latest addition to frozen whipped topping may be the best dessert decorating hack yet — and it comes in a bag (not a can). Truwhirl, from the makers of Truwhip, delivers Truwhip's signature all-natural whipped topping in a squeezable, ready-to-use bag, with a built-in decorating tip. The launch is part of Truwhirl's effort to #SaveDessert. The campaign aims to breathe new life into desserts of all kinds and turn ordinary into extraordinary — one simple squeeze at a time — encouraging people to stop deserting dessert. It's a fun and more eco-friendly replacement for the old-fashioned aerosol can. Using it is easy, too. Just tear off the end of the decorator bag, push the tip to the corner, and you're ready to decorate pies, cakes, sundaes and more. The packaging is more environmentally friendly. No nitrous oxide gas or cans. Truwhirl is easy to squeeze on desserts or even bunny ears. Truwhirl and Truwhip stand out in a whipped topping category that's often short on all-natural choices. Truwhirl contains no high fructose corn syrup, no GMOs, no hydrogenated oils and zero grams of trans fats per serving. And unlike toppings from aerosol cans, it won't slip or slide off your dessert. Then we are thrilled to join us Chef Richard L. Ingraham who is Dwyane Wade & Gabrielle Union's private chef. Chef Richard was born and raised in Miami, Florida and became a culinary enthusiast at an early age. He trained at the The Art Institute of Atlanta, and soon after began teaching culinary arts at a Miami high school. In 2003, he was offered what is now his current position as Private Chef for NBA star Dwyane Wade and his wife Gabrielle Union. The combination of his world-class training, recognitions, and passion for fine cuisine and spirits has allowed him to create a network of Private Chefs called Chef RLI, LLC, which serves a plethora of NBA, NFL, MLB, and entertainment personalities. Chef Richard has competed on The Food Network's television show Chopped, partnered as an ambassador with Walmart, Goya Foods and the National Pork Producers Council and presented at the Food Network & Cooking Channel South Beach Wine & Food Festival every year since 2011. Having worked with a variety of other professional athletes, musicians, and celebrities, this responsibility of keeping them nourished to achieve peak performance while still enjoying flavorful meals blossomed into the creation and the release of his first cookbook, Eating Well to Win: Inspired Living Through Inspired Cooking (Mango Publishing). Also cooking up some delicious food every day we have coming in studio Executive Chef Oliver Munguia of Keg & Kitchen in Westmont, New Jersey. Chef Oliver Munguia has previously worked at Cinder Copper & Lace, Green EggsCafe', REEF Restaurant/ Lounge, Parc Restaurant, Melograno, One Shot, and Uptown Beer Garden. Chef Oliver was also named by Billy Penn's Danya Henninger as one of the top 15 rising chefs in Philly. Wow what an honor! Keg & Kitchen is not only serving great meals and beverages at their brick and mortar location, but they have been popping up at Haddon Square Pop-Up Beer Garden where the Westmont Farmers Market now is as well with various themed events and parties. Keg & Kitchen is brought to you by Kevin and Janet Meeker who like to dine out—and that's why every aspect of their Haddon Township tavern is designed with their guests in mind. Whether you're out with your kids or out on the town, you're always welcome at Keg & Kitchen. From the small-batch brewers whose beers fill the bar Bible to the reclaimed wood interior that lines its walls, the restaurant offers guests a pub experience that is both social and intimate. The food is a mix of hearty and refined, but always fresh, and selected to complement the complex flavors of whatever's on tap. Daily drink specials range from wine and whiskey flights to house cocktails and canned seasonal beers. Communal tables offer a broad, inviting experience for groups of any size, friend or stranger, and a year-round, outdoor beer garden constructed with Amish timber offers a singular view of the streetscape in every season. Convenient to the Westmont PATCOSpeedline and New Jersey Routes 70, 30, and 130, Keg & Kitchen isn't just open to everyone—it's also closer than you think. Stop by the next time you're in the neighborhood. What goes with great food, family, friends, and the holidays? A great drink to toast with. Well we have the perfect person joining us in studio with Joan Verratti the CEO and President of Naoj & Mot, Inc. the parent company of South Philly based traditional lemoncellos maker of Pollyodd. Joan Verratti and her partner Tom Cavaliere founded Naoj & Mot in 2006 after realizing her hobby of making Italian-American liqueurs had the potential to become a successful business. After much trial-and-error, Verratti narrowed Pollyodd line down to ten distinct flavors – five water based and five creams. Verratti describes the process of making Pollyodd products by using an Italian phrase, “dalle mie mani al tuo cuore,” which translates into English as, “from my hands to your heart.” This is more than just a sentiment for Verratti, who makes each bottle by hand in small batches to ensure optimal quality. This Pennsylvania-based distillery creates artisan liquors; each product contains no more than five locally-sourced ingredients, including water, sugar, pure grain alcohol and various fruits or chocolates. Over the last eight years, Verratti has perfected her recipes and is working to expand her line of Liqueurs to up 18 water-based and cream-based flavors. Verratti has Pollyodd Lemoncello and Pollyodd Chocolatecello in over 100 Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) stores in and around the Philadelphia area and looks for more distribution throughout the state. As a South Philadelphia native, it was only natural that Verratti open a store at 1908 East Passyunk Avenue in South Philadelphia where customers can shop for specialty flavors. With this store, Verratti became the first Non-PLCB retail Liquor store in the state to go along with her being the first female owned Distillery in the country. Naoj & Mot is truly a labor of love for Verratti, who donates a portion of Pollyodd's proceeds to fund a scholarship for underprivileged children in memory of her late son, Thomas Joseph. The Thomas J. Verratti III Memorial Scholarship provides tuition support for students to attend Bishop Neumann High School. To date, the scholarship fund has provided nearly $40,000 in tuition support.
