Milk. Ramen. Cider. Tiki. This week, we have four stories about the history, controversy, and sentimentality behind names – those words we say often, but rarely stop to fully consider. Our exploration into the language of food includes debates between lawyers, interviews with historians, and chats with our favorite bartenders. Who gets to assign meaning to the names our favorite dishes and drinks? Should plant-based beverages be called milk? Is ramen quintessentially Japanese? Who gets to decide what ciders can be labeled "dry?" And why can't tiki bars have white walls and windows? After this episode, you'll never think of these foods the same way! This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York State Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council. Additional music includes "Secret of Tiki Island" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Meat + Three is powered by Simplecast.
Kat Johnson, Hannah Fordin, and Jordan Werner Barry joined the Shacksbury Cider team for their annual Harvest Camp (also known as Shackscamp)! Hosted at Camp Betsey Cox in Pittsford, Vermont, Shackscamp was filled with three days of apple foraging, cider drinking, cheese tasting – to name a few of our favorite camp activities! We gathered the whole crew around a picnic table to record a special on-location episode of HRN Happy Hour with guests Luke Schmueker, Krista Scruggs, Neal Hirtzel, Cassidy Gardner, Matt Wolf, Jesse Galdston, and many more. HRN Happy Hour‘s theme song is Suns Out, Guns Out by Concord America. HRN Happy Hour is powered by Simplecast.
We are certainly in "high spirits" today on HRN Happy Hour with guests Kara Newman and Neal Hirtzel! Kara is the author of the newly published Road Soda: Recipes and Techniques for Making Great Cocktails on-the-go, Anywhere. This also happens to be the fifth HRN show she's appeared in – welcome to the "five-timers club," Kara! Neal is one of the guys behind California’s Native Son Alehouse, a craft beer pub that rotates 27 of the finest brews that west coast has to offer. Neal also happens to be an HRN super-fan, so we couldn't be more thrilled to have him in the shipping containers. On today's show, we recap our fabulous trip to Shacksbury's Harvest Camp (aka #Shackscamp), where we foraged for apples, made new friends, ate delicious cheeses, and drank our weight in ciders and cider spritzes. After talking all about the art of drinkin' on the go, we challenge Kara and Neal to a little travel booze trivia.... spoiler alert, they totally nail it. HRN Happy Hour is powered by Simplecast
