The Modern Eater Show is back from the Salty Crab Bar &amp; Grill in Fort Myers Beach, Florida.

We started the show with a look at some of our finer moments in Florida from the views to the amazing food and beverages we’ve had up and down the coast.

There was one story that we had to get into regarding ‘restaurant etiquette.

Erin Boyle, Executive Director of CHOW (Culinary Hospitality Outreach and Wellness) came on to discuss the mission and how mental health is important to the entire industry. We share back and forth and let the industry know where and how to seek help when needed.

Chef Mark Henry from Roosters House of Ramen in Colorado Springs hops on and gives us a quick rundown from the Shamrock Food Show as well as some new insights into vegan lifestyle and cooking. We are booking our trip south to go see him in action at Roosters House of Ramen.

Palisade, Colorado here we come! Unapologetic organic soil farming is what it’s all about at Field to Fork Farm. Scott, Jessica, and Clive Washkowiak are seemingly living the American dream.

Check out this video as the TME crew spends the afternoon at Field to Fork with the Washkowiak clan while they bust out some next level wood fired pizza made with ingredients from the farm. Get ready to hear Scott and Jess throw down some knowledge as they talk about farming in a world of inflation and skyrocketing food production costs.

If you are in southwest Florida, your first stop has to be Nice Guys Pizza.

Located at the old location of the Palisade Cafe, Fidel’s Cocina and Bar is the new spot to be at. Jeff Snook and Jody Corey with help from their dog, Fidel, started this place with two things in mind, energy and flavor. Tacos and margaritas on the patio are just an added bonus. Whether it is their spicy cucumber margarita or a plate of their poblano fries, you are in store for quite an experience at Fidel’s. They also offer an array of tacos, greens, and an impressive stable of spirits at their cozy bar.

In the video below Jeff and Jody tell us how Fidel’s started and what it takes to run a restaurant in a day and age of skyrocketing inflation, labor shortages and food costs that are through the roof. Chef James Doxon from Vibe Concepts joins the discussion to add how his Denver based restaurant group is handling these very same issues.

Fidel’s Cocina and Bar… Tacos and Margaritas on the Patio, please!

A Colorado wine powerhouse with locations in Denver, Littleton and Breckenridge, Carboy Winery’s location in Palisade is breathtaking. With an assortment of wines and one of the best views in the Valley, partner James Melling has a smile on his face. This brand new facility has a perfect patio setting and tasting room that includes paninis and charcuterie boards.

Watch James take us around the facility to show us the process from start to finish. Also, him and Greg enjoy a taste of straight from the tank!
