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.

We've had a few long episodes in a row lately, so this one's a little shorter to let you (and us) have more time to enjoy the summer weather and all the great eating it brings.

First, to follow up on the discussion of hot dogs from our last episode, we have a quick visit to Lou "The Hot Dog Man" on the Ithaca Commons. Then our visits to every restaurant in Ithaca from A-Z continues with a look at the surprising "CajAsian" cuisine of the Cajun Café Grill, and unique items on the menu at Capital Corner. Check out photos of their food at our Flickr page, and get in touch to help us decide what will qualify as a restaurant for our next round of reviews. See the comments below for more details.

Finally, we have details on the latest foodie events around town, including the big Finger Lakes Wine Festival happening this weekend at Watkins Glen. And don't forget to vote for what you think should be our third choice for the "Foods of Summer" series - it's quick and easy to vote using the tool on the right of our blog.
