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.

In this episode we take a trip out to Trumansburg to visit Robert & Tina MacCheyner at High Point Farms, where they're offering all natural beef from pasture-raised, grass-fed heritage breed cattle.

And we've gone back to the top of our alphabetical list of Ithaca restaurants to see what new places we've missed before, bringing us to two different Downtown options with Mediterranean menus: Basha in Center Ithaca, and Dino's Mediterranean Deli in the Dewitt Mall. Which one was our favorite? Take a listen to find out, and check out our Flickr page for photos of all the food we've been eating.

Plus we've got updates for you on more restaurant changes we discovered on the horizon for Ithaca, and news about the latest foodie events that you won't want to miss.
