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

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer

This is the conundrum, it is not all roses with a free market, there will be growing pains, but there will also be great gains. In the meantime house bill 971 & senate bill 290 have offered some upgrades to our current system. Listen in to find out what goodies our industry just received.
 
We discuss in the bills and the benefits in depth with the NCRLA Director of Communications and lobbyist Margo Metzger.
