Our special guest for this show is the talented chef and restauranteur Samantha Izzo, whose Simply Red Bistro has been at Sheldrake Point Vineyard in Ovid since the Spring of 2007 and has now just opened in a second location at La Tourelle Resort in Ithaca. We talk about what she finds appealing about being a chef in the Finger Lakes.

Also, our goal at eating at every restaurant in Ithaca from A-Z checks one more letter off the list as we wrap up the letter G with reviews of the Glenwood Pines and Godfather's Pizza (with a little help from Fanta and a cameo from Weird Old Guy). Plus we have updates on the latest food events happening in the coming weeks around town.

You'll hear some great music from the Evil City String Band in this episode. You can hear their music or buy their CD online here.

We're very excited to bring you our conversation Marlo Capoccia, the founder and driving force behind Garden Gate Delivery, and one of Ithaca's brightest new champions of local, sustainable foods. She's taken a simple idea and turned it into a new way of connecting regional foods with homes and restaurants throughout Tompkins County, becoming a role model for other like-minded entrepreneurs in the process.

We also have come to the end of the "D" section of our visits to every restaurant in Ithaca from A-Z, and we have reviews for you of Dijon Bistro, Domino's Pizza, and Dunkin' Donuts. You can see photos all the food we discussed and more at our Flickr page
