The Foodies of State College: Season 2, Episode 36

I interview Hector Cruz, the Floridian at the heart of the Foodies of State College Facebook group, 20,000 people who want to find the best places to eat in the greater State College area (pretty loosely defined, ask 'em anything). We talked about why he started it, how he runs it, and why everyone loves to fight about pizza and cheesesteaks.  The Foodies group has been a huge help to me finding good places to talk about here, and I'll tell you about the places they suggested, and then my buddy Dave Dreese and I hit the road to sample six more Foodies favorites in one afternoon. Buckle up for tacos, pizza, cider, cheesesteaks and hoagies, more pizza, and a Taiwanese bakery, plus an unexpected treasure on tap. All that, plus the West Virginia triple that's What I'm Drinking Today! There's also some merch news, and an announcement about an event I'm doing on April 20th at Ploughman Cider in Gettysburg, and what you've all being waiting for: Pippin the Corgi joins the podcast! Next episode? MORE RYE WHISKEY! I'm interviewing two distillers in southwest Pennsylvania, the cradle of rye whiskey, home of the Whiskey Rebellion. Plus more covered bridges and whatever good eats I find with Sam Komlenic, Pennsylvania's unofficial rye whiskey historian. Next week, which will get us back on schedule; my teeth are much better, thanks, and feeling moreso every day.   Until then? TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THE PODCAST!
