At the Plate: Carol Lawrence & Brent Marshall Talk NH Food | Ep 35 | Granite Tapas

Welcome to AT THE PLATE - a new format where it's just food conversation. Carol Lawrence- Erickson sat down with Brent Marshall (Bikes & Bites) at Granite Tapas & Cocktail Lounge in Hooksett, NH, and they did what they do best: talked about food for 90 minutes straight. No formal interview structure. No script. Just two members of the New Hampshire Eats community connecting over salted caramel wings, dirty martinis, and a shared love of great food. This episode is different. It's casual. It's real. It's just two foodies geeking out about what they love. IN THIS EPISODE: How Brent started Bikes & Bites (motorcycles + Italian sandwiches + Rangeley) Carol's first time meeting Bobby Marcotte from Tuckaway Tavern Why they're both "bar people" and how to skip the wait at popular spots The salted caramel wings at Granite Tapas (and why you need to try them) Italian sandwiches and the "real Italian" from Amato's in Portland, Maine Their favorite NH spots: Tuckaway Tavern, Ignite, Crown, Bravo, Industry East, Amphora, Dante's, Dead Proof, Messy Mike's, and more Carol's Italy trip and why pasta tastes different there The New Hampshire Eats community and discovering new restaurants What it means to be a true foodie Underrated bar snacks (spoiler: it's wings) FEATURED: 🍽️ Granite Tapas & Cocktail Lounge, Hooksett NH 🏍️ Bikes & Bites - Follow Brent Marshall 🥞 Red Arrow Diner - 4 locations across NH FIND BEYOND THE PLATE: 🌐 Website: redarrowdiner.com 📘 Facebook: facebook.com/beyondtheplatenh 📸 Instagram: @beyondtheplatenh 🎵 TikTok: @nhbeyondtheplate 🎧 Spotify: Beyond the Plate with Carol 🎥 YouTube: youtube.com/@beyondtheplatewithcarol Carol Personal: 📸 Instagram: @CarolSew Red Arrow Diner: 📸 Instagram: @redarrow24diner 📘 Facebook: RedArrowDiner 🌐 Website: redarrowdiner.com 💬 What did you think of this format?
