Imagine that! WAMC's October 2026 ended so fast (shout out to our members) that your Food Friday host/producer didn't have a show booked.

Whatever the reason, the esteemed food, wine, mixology and cheese expert ranted about doing a Food Friday concerning "Hudson Valley beers and gas station convenience food." What the blue blazes?

We welcome back Russ Matson of All American BBQ and Bill Fletcher from Fletcher's BBQ Shop and Steakhouse. These two experts will unlock the secrets of barbecue from around our great nation. Ray Graf hosts.
