Hospitality industry veterans, Max Trujillo and Matthew Weiss, get behind the scenes of North Carolina's burgeoning food and beverage culture. Hear from local chefs, sommelier's, distillers, farmers, brewers and the whole lot of them in the NC F&B podcast. 

"Our intention is to create a behind-the-scenes conversation between industry professionals. Whether we are speaking with an advanced level sommelier about their wine program or a chef about breaking down an entire pig, we just want the conversation to be real, unedited and honest. The food and beverage world is a unique industry, and North Carolina's food scene is growing everyday.

Take a listen. We hope to entertain, teach and inspire while offering some specific information about the NC food scene."

 -Max & Matt

Oak City Amaretto

Apr 9, 2020

Anthony Scalabrino, founder of @oakcityamarettoco, joins us to give you a little break from coronavirus-related content and to appreciate how awesome our previously "normal" lives. We talk to Anthony about how he got the signature amaretto recipe from his Sicilian grandmother, who brought the family recipe over to Michigan where Anthony grew up. (Fun fact - His badass grandma also worked in the Keebler factory!) Anthony also gives us the basic formula and process for making amaretto and generously lets us add some into our coffee while we chat (a fantastic combo, btw). Might we recommend a splash in your own coffee tomorrow morning while you listen?... We’re in quarantine, who cares!
