Download MP3 | Subscribe to podcast via RSS | Subscribe via iTunes

The Finger Lakes have long been a popular destination for weddings and that means lots of opportunities for brides & grooms to make local foods a part of their celebration. Our guests Tina and Katie of Word of Mouth Catering in Trumansburg have spent nearly two decades making those special meals an important part of celebrations throughout our region.

We've also got a report on what's new at the Ithaca Farmers' Market, and our latest restaurant review has us experiencing the mysterious retro charms of the Ichabod Lounge on Elmira Road. Plus we have updates on the latest local restaurant gossip and news of big foodie events on the way.

When it was announced earlier this year that the ABC Cafe would be closing its doors on June 21st, a many Ithacans began making plans to make the most of its final days. We sit down with this beloved restaurant's owner, Ken Hallett, to hear more about why he's decided it's time to move on.

But ABC Cafe isn't the only prominent dining option we're losing this month, and we'll talk about the closing of Willow in Fall Creek, and the Queen of Tarts on East Hill.

We also are checking out what's new at the Ithaca Farmers' Market, and we've got dining reviews for the Green Cafe in Collegetown and The Corners Deli in Cayuga Heights.
