As a society, us Americans are dealing with an interesting time period in the history of the food industry. On one side, we have the health continuous and local and on the other, we have the overly commoditized, commercialized and stripped of mostly any health benefit. Whether it's a restaurant or a grocery store, like all things now, we are an ever increasingly polarized society here in the US and where your tastes fall on the spectrum that is the modern food parade, for many of us, falls upon where you are with your own health and personal awareness. Let's be honest here, we're raised in a gluttonous, never-ending dirge of fast-food, convenient noise and it's literally killing us by the millions every year. And that's exactly where a place like 716 Fresh is so vitally important. It offers a real choice and a better alternative when it could not be more important to have one. 716 Fresh offers a truly healthy but just as tasty, fast, home made and locally sourced menu. They've just added a new deli and the patio is open for business. I recently spoke with the owner Corey about what exactly inspired him to take the plunge into the restaurant business and most certainly what inspired him to create such a beautifully necessary restaurant that features a roster of ever-changing, many times seasonal, super-tasty and truly healthy dishes. _____________________________________________________

Small Town, NY episodes can be seen between the shows on PBS on stations all across the state of NY, here on YouTube, smalltownny.com & on all major social media platforms!

SMALL TOWN NY: Fresh off the hot-heels of the pandemic and my initial PBS travel show, "Discovering WNY", "Small Town NY" is my second PBS series that finds me exploring small towns throughout the entire state. And while you'll still find the more popular destinations on the show, I'll mostly be digg'n deep and "Discovering" the lesser-known and off-the-beaten-path small towns that I believe, truly deserve a visit or two.

On my YouTube channel (youtube.com/aaaugustine) you'll also be able to see all the episodes from my 4 older TV shows:

DISCOVERING WNY: The first version of the show was an interstitial (between the shows) PBS series that primarily featured small WNY towns, while the older show was a half-hour, small business profile series featuring local "Mom & Pop Shops" on 4 WNY commercial stations.

SUPER KIDS SHOW: These are my three retro-style, 1950s-1970s influenced shows kids TV series that were eventually combined into one awesome show called "The Kids Super Show" that continued until 2017 when I began producing regional travel shows.
