Food Dude Bruce Newbury

A couple of times a year, Dave's Fresh Marketplace in RhodeIsland opens its stores to a select group of food makers and taste creators to give them an opportunity to hop off the shelf and give Dave’s guests a taste of something very special. It could be a new creation or a great tradition. Join me at Dave’s Smithfield Crossing store for the Fall 2026 Dave’s Local Tasting Weekend with Narragansett Creamery, Daniele Charcuterie, M’s Bakery Café, Aquidneck Honey, Hillside Harvest, Harbor Sweets, Catanzaro’s Italian biscuits,Doro meal kits and Good Mood kombucha.

We're off to Barkeaters Restaurant in Shelburne, Vermont. This week David and Julie's specials menu theme is Vermont Community Cookbooks, featuring recipes found in the pages of local cookbooks they've picked up during their travels around the state. It takes a community, maybe a few communities to come up with creations like this. Enjoy!

Who are Larry, Darryl and Darryl? They were three characters- and if you know you know - Characters - in "Newhart" in which The Waybury Inn had a closeup every week. They also are our herd of antlered friends who look down on us every night in the Pub at the Waybury. Now that you know, enjoy Chef Antonio and I as we chat about the upcoming Ghostly Gallop and Sunday Brunch on November 1st! P.S. - You can wear Larry, Darryl and Darryl on our Waybury hoodies. Call us or stop in for details and try one on.

Don't recall seeing any of the Real Housewives actually eating an apple. We know the Real Housewives of Rhode Island eat the local delicacy, Pizza Chips. This fall, thousands of fairgoers at the Big E fair got to indulge at the Rhode Island Building. Mark Brodeur of Rhode Island Commerce picks up the story and takes us on a tour of the Building at this year's fair. Then, Kathleen Stine takes over and leads us through her orchards to pick 28 kinds of apples and other fruits. Where do the Cider Donuts grow? Kathleen knows. Enjoy.

Fall foliage fans are finding Vermont's Waybury Inn by the busload. Others are two-wheeling in on cycling tours. For those who are lucky enough to make the Champlain Valley their year-round home, the magic happens nightly in the Waybury's dining room and pub. Chef Antonio Petri is rolling out a new autumn menu with hearty dishes like butternut squash ravioli, house-smoked pork, beef from Cornwall Cattle Company and local vegetables and fruit. All the baking is done in house from breads to rolls to scones and muffins. Tony and Bruce talk about fall all the way to the holidays in this episode.
