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."

In this episode we learn about  sneaking booze into Iraq, banana curry cocktails and why Whistle Pig 15yr and Old Weller Antique 107 are floating Mike Stojic and Maleah Christie's boat. We get into some heavy vetting... of cocktails that is. We also eat booze filled ice cream and discuss why Johnson County and specifically Clayton, NC are rad! _________________________________________________
