It's no secret that restaurants, notoriously low profit businesses, have been closed to all but take out food service during this pandemic. Restaurant owners are taking a major economic hit, cooks are facing reduced or no hours, servers are facing no hours at all. In addition, banquets are being cancelled removing another form of income for restaurants. Many aren't closing completely so they can at least keep the doors open for when this is over. 15.3 million people work in the restaurant business. Many more in the companies who supply them. This is an industry hard hit.

What's one restaurant doing to stay open during this crisis? Thinking way outside of the box...the take out box. Listen as Chef Luke Houghton and Chef Sarah Hassler talk about what they are doing and how they are responding with a virtual four course dinner....take out style...in three cities!

You may not be thinking about maple syrup in January but Nate Williams of Dutch Hill Maple is. Long before spring Nate is in the woods string tubing and hanging taps getting ready for the flow of maple sap. Dutch Hill has won Grand Champion Maple Syrup three consecutive years at the New York State Fair.

In this episode I sat down with Nate to talk about how he taps the tree, hangs the lines, and makes maple syrup. Learn how he reduces the water content and boils the sap into different grades of syrup. There is a lot to know about maple syrup and how it is made and Nate tells all.

Dutch Hill began when Dave Williams tapped 15 trees in Tully, New York. Nate now taps over 7500 trees to bring us incredible tasting syrup. So good we use it in our Clean Slate Farm maple-balsamic vinegar available at our web site or in selected retail outlets in central New York.
