In this show, we head west to Seneca Lake for a visit with the guys behind Finger Lakes Distilling to discover how they're turning the best all-natural Finger Lakes fruits and grains into artisanal spirits, including their elegant Vintners Vodka and the Seneca Drums Gin that has already found a small following among local cocktail connoisseurs. And we've got a very nice Finger Lakes Distilling hat to give away to one lucky listener!

We're also checking in on the bounty of new fruits and summer vegetables that are appearing at the Ithaca Farmers' Market, and our latest restaurant review takes a look at one of the more unique pizza options in town at Italian Carry Out. Plus we have updates on breaking restaurant gossip and news of local foodie events on the way.

We're talking with Nathan Winters of FollowNathan.org, who is on an adventurous, interactive bike ride across the continent dedicated to raising awareness for sustainability, recycling, and conservation. As he goes, he's also interviewing people he meets and uploading the videos and photos from his encounters on his website to share with the world. He stopped in Ithaca for a few days as part of his journey and we got to find out more about what he learned in our community.

Nathan also paid a visit to the Ithaca Farmers' Market, which he called "hands down the best farmer's market he's seen," (check out his video from the market here). We've got our own update from the market in this episode, and our latest restaurant review offers multiple trips to the steam tables at Imperial Kitchen Buffet off Triphammer Road. Plus we're sharing our thoughts on the new documentary "Food Inc." now playing at Cinemapolis.
