Fancy Food Show

On Monday Mark and Francis went to the Fancy Food Show at the Javits Center in New York City. The show was heavy on branding and marketing and short on "real food". Mark described many items as "pretend premium" such as the ice cream Francis tried - it's vanilla - no it's vanilla extract - no it's "vanillin". Do miss the "wine nuts" peanuts that are flavored to "bring out the subtleties" of the wine such as chardonnay or merlot. "The biggest hunk of idiocy" proclaimed Francis.

The Restaurant Guys

Who Are The Restaurant Guys? Every week, Francis Schott and Mark Pascal host the Restaurant Guys, a show that's as informative as it is fun. Francis and Mark own Stage Left Restaurant in the heart of New Brunswick's theatre district, and, along with their expertise in a wide range of fine dining and wine matters, they bring to the table humor and intelligent conversation, perfect for the midday listener. The show includes discussions and interviews with famous chefs, restaurateurs, wine and food writers, critics; and the Guys even give stuff away occasionally.
