Food Dude Bruce Newbury

Wait what?? We're all over it on this week's episode. You'll be among the first to taste with your ears the new Girl Scout Cookie Exploremores. And of course what goes better than a Fall Pumpkin Beer? We'll pop the top on a few with Jen Brinton of Greysail Brewing in Rhode Island. Bookend all that with a stay at my Vermont home, the Waybury Inn, and my Newport hideaway, the Chart House and it's a great Fall getaway. Enjoy.

Wanna be my Tailgate Date? We're going tailgating with Chef Jamie Gwen who has already said she would. Don't fight over me now. It's Maine Lobster Week and Gillian Britt will be our tour guide all over the great State of Maine. And from the Newport Mansions Wine and Food Festival, culinary director Chef Kevin Des Chenes and guest celebrity chef Jen Behm-Lazzarini.

So, how's your French? If you know, you know. In French, it's "House of Tent" which works. We're at Waybury Inn where the new "Great Outdoors" tent just went up. Some guests are already calling the Waybury Dome. It's going to host some amazing events this fall and Chef Antonio fills us in on a big one upcoming - O'hAnleigh's 1000th Show Sept 21. Now if you said, "Cheese Tent," you're right too. It's Cheese Week in Vermont. Kent Underwood and Meg Gonzalez from Grafton Village Cheese Co are at the party. Then we are off to Barkeaters in Shelburne to talk amazing fall specials with proprietor David Zeidler. Enjoy!

Who says no to pie and coffee? Not us. Especially when its Vermont Coffee Company and the North American Maple Pie Competition!

Then, it's our first-ever Coffee Show with Mira Rinder-Goddard from Vermont Coffee Company taking us from espresso to Americano and everything in between. Pour yourself a big mug and enjoy.

Fans of Farmers' Markets have their favorites, each with its own special charm. The Shelburne (VT) Farmers Market is getting more charming each week. It has become one of the largest in Vermont. We spent the last Saturday in July visiting with the vendors and turned it into an hour of Food Dude Radio. And we just got started. Also, a stop at Vermont's only A&W Drive-In and we get ready for culinary school with a new college degree program getting off the ground this September. We begin at the Waybury Inn to talk about peak summer with Chef Antonio Petri. Enjoy.

You ask everyone, "How is your summer going?" and the reply is usually, "Great but too fast." Summer has a habit of slipping away. Summer food events come fast and furious. Here are a couple more to savor before the seasons change. The Summer Soiree to benefit Little Sisters and Fishes At The Fort on behalf of Eating with the Ecosystem. Meet Lauren Clem who is organizing the Soiree and chefs Josh Berman (Little Fish) and David Standridge (Shipwright's Daughter) who are cooking at Fishes.

July 21 2025 - How do you grow a 7-foot sunflower? How do you cook and butter your sweet corn? Where is the most seafood in one place in New England?

It was a perfect summer day on Lake Champlain in Vermont and perfect to taste, learn and enjoy the best from winemakers, chefs, makers, creators, artisans and your Food Dude at the 2025 Burlington Wine and Food festival. Our broadcast live on the radio featured Chef Antonio Petri from Waybury Inn, Chefs Kevin Des Chenes "Kev D" and Brian Duffy, Chef Sean Blomgren from Spruce Peak, wine and artisan food purveyors from Fleury de Sel, Grafton Village Cheese, Louis Sel. And the crowd went wild as you will hear.

Dave's Fresh Marketplace in Rhode Island has been the Food Dude's exclusive Broadcast Bistro for over a decade. I could not be more proud to represent and speak on behalf of this great grocery success story. This year, IGA, the nation's grocer association named Dave's Marketplace its Grocer Of The Year. We're not taking a victory lap just yet. Dave's just redid its flagship East Greenwich (RI) store. Sue Budlong and I did a walk and talk through the freshened up Dave's Fresh Marketplace!

You can sample Championship Mustard from the Worldwide Mustard Competition and be part of a webinar with me and Mr Mustard - kenz@paulwmarks.com. Then we're off to Burlington Wine and Food with Tracy and Mike Stolese and a visit to Chart House Inn in Newport RI with Nicole Canning.

There is Daylight Saving Time and then there is Waybury Time. At the Waybury Inn in Vermont, guests take time to relax and to go back in time. In our guest rooms, our dining room and in our Pub where friends gather. This June, there's good times in our Pub with the music of AO'Hanleigh. Tom Hanley and I spent some Waybury time talking things over. Before that, Chef Antonio Petri talked about great food and wine discoveries coming to the Waybury this June as well as at Burlington (VT) Wine and Food.

So I can't spend all my time talking food. There has to be wine - and trivia. So I host The Bruce Newbury Show on WVMT AM/FM radio in Burlington VT on Saturday afternoons. We are heard all over Vermont, the North Country and even Greater Montreal. And it is great fun with some of the nicest people who call in. On a rainy Saturday we had a great time and may have actually solved some of the world's problems. Enjoy and join me live Saturdays 12:00 Noon to 3:00 PM Eastern.

It's June! And finally it looks like some lovely days. The start of summer foods - many that need mustard! Following up our Mustard Show this spring, here are the Mustard Competition Winners from the National Mustard Museum. Then, Chef -Innkeeper Antonio Petri and I talk about what's to come at the Waybury Inn this new month - including The Waybury at this year's Burlington Wine and Food!

At the recent Nantucket Wine Festival, one local winery made a return visit. Sakonnet Vineyards was a participant in the 2025 Grand Tasting, marking a return for the legacy Southern New England winemaker. Matt Gant, assistant tasting room manager, and Drew Eichinger, sales manager hopped on a call with me to do a virtual tasting.

The news of the devastating fire which destroyed the Matunuck Oyster Barswept through the restaurant community in the state as quickly as it did thetown of South Kingstown.  As we havelearned so many times in the past, there is no industry that mobilizes to helplike the food service and restaurant community. This time, those in need are membersof that community. So within 24 hours of the fire, the Rhode Island HospitalityEducation Foundation of the Rhode Island Hospitality Association had alreadyestablished an official Employee Relief Fund. President and CEO Farouk Rajabwas out front leading the initiative. As he told me in an interview, it was theproverbial “no-brainer,”

It's May and the fresh flavors are in bloom. Reusable bag in hand, we are out there taking it all INN. Our first stop is the Waybury Inn in Vermont with Chef Antonio Petri and Mother's Day in bloom. Then to the opening of Farmer's Markets in Rhode Island with more fresh flavors. Then, we uncover great food at a work function or lunch with Marco's Subs and Cafe in Newport with Marco Polselli.

Some new tastes for Spring from some innovators and creators. Proprietor David Zeidler of Barkeaters shares his recent specials and gives us a taste of what might be ahead. Chief Operating Worker of the new Grafton Village and Vermont Farmstead Cheese - COW Kent Underwood tells about his vision for his newly acquired cheesemaking company. And a taste of tomorrow from Rhode Island from some new "food-preneurs" including Will Ferlauto exhibiting and sampling his new August Peak Sauces at the recent Tabletop Show from the Hope and Main startup kitchens and Farm Fresh RI.

Another of the great things about food in Vermont. Meal prep meets Farm to Table. And in Vermont, you can see the farm from the table. That's Clarina Cravins's idea at Preppi Market and Eatery located inside the Hula Lakeside campus and at select pickup spots around the state. And there's delivery. Clarina tells the story in this episode. Enjoy.

Who doesn't love mustard? It's not a hot dog without it or a corned beef sandwich or a pretzel. No surprise, there is a National Mustard Museum , a National Mustard Day and a Worldwide Mustard Competition. We talk with Ken Zuckerman, board member of the Mustard Museum about all things mustard-y.
