Food, Wine, Culture TV- Episode 12: In the first episode in over a week (I’ve been quite busy!) Greg Bissonette (our beer expert) has accepted my challenge of “Battle Fried Chicken beer vs wine.” In this first episode in the series of three, we taste a beer, one of my favorite spring, summer and fall cocktails (from Portugal) and I share my simple recipe for delicious fried chicken. Be sure to check back soon to see the showdown in Episode 13, and a drunken “Battle Apple Pie” in Episode 14.
Cheers!
