We're grazing forward on this week's Food Farms and Chefs Radio Show, with owners of a unique bakery & cocktail bar, a brewery that's getting ready to launch us into new adventures, and a business that's all about our favorite way to enjoy a little taste from every food option!
Frank Sinatra had it right when he sang, "Luck be a lady...tonight," as my first two guests are co-owners of The Lady Fingers Bakery & Bar, located in Bloomfield, NJ. Owners Lauren Kavourakis and Samara Cinque met while working, and continued working inside restaurants in New York and New Jersey, and at one point came up with a plan to start their own business. Today, they are serving up a wonderful array of baked goods, meals, coffee, and cocktails that visitors keep coming back for. And soon, they will be celebrating their one-year anniversary of Lady Fingers on Sept 28th, so stay tuned to find out how you can taste what they have to offer and help celebrate their first year!

Philadelphia's known for their love of a good 'underdog' story, and my next guest, Richie Tevlin is banking on his up-coming brewery's branding, Space Cadet Brewing Company. Richie's focus is to offer single-batch brews that offer unique only-offered-once craft brew experiences. He coupled this with a mascot/on-going graphic story that reflects Richie's own journey into brewery ownership, with the concept that each unique can will also be a collectors item. Launching sometime in October, Cadet Brewing Company will offer area bars and restaurants a once-in-a-lifetime chance to enjoy what he has brewing. If you're curious as to what he'll launch first, where he's brewing, and where his launch-party will be held then keep your ears peeled for what Richie has to say!related link: https://spacecadetbeer.com // https://www.instagram.com/spacecadetbeer
Lastly, let's not graze over one of everyone's favorite party platters--Charcuterie Boards! April Collison started Grazing Affair in 2018; the business was such a new concept that there was no previous precedence for it. So, April sought out township officials to ensure her business wouldn't end before it had a chance to begin. Years later, the steps she took to establish her grazing-friendly foods landed her great success, and today she creates everything from 'A Graze for 2' to a full Wedding Table set up.
