Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 141 - Drink Bumbu Rum, Review The Avo XO Legato, Big News For Rye Whiskey In Indiana, Subway Restaurants Are Retooling and Gas Prices Are Surging

Tony Katz — Mon, 12 Jul 2021 06:00:00 -0400

Cigars work with rum. Tony and Fingers usually pair their cigars with bourbon, whiskey or a coffee. But cigars go great with rum. So this week, the fellas did something a little different for them, and sampled Bumbu Rum. It did not disappoint.

Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy host Eat! Drink! Smoke! recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN. Along with the Bumbu Rum, the guys smoked the Avo XO Legato.

People who are familiar with Eat! Drink! Smoke! know that Tony came out with his own rye, called Recovery Rye. It's distilled in Indiana. Indiana has a long history with making rye whiskey. This is why Indiana Rye whiskey was recently made a legally binding regional whiskey style of American whiskey. Great news!

Subway restaurants have been in the news a lot recently. The chain has been struggling. In a move to try and change that momentum, the sandwich chain will close most of their restaurants for one day and revamp their menu. Will this reverse Subway's slide?

Gas prices continue to rise. How much longer will we see these high prices? How will it impact the economy?

Eat! Drink! Smoke! - Episode 140 - Drink The Dragon’s Milk White, Bourbon Barrel-Aged Stout, Review The American From J.C. Newman, Congress Looking To Limit The FDA On Premium Cigars, Fair Wage Fees At Restaurants And A New Scary Weight-loss Tool

Tony Katz — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 06:00:00 -0400

This week Tony and Fingers asked themselves "what would be the perfect drink for Independence Day weekend?"

The answer was beer. But they couldn't get away from their bourbon roots. So, the guys decided to put it all together by drinking the Dragon’s Milk White, Bourbon Barrel-Aged Stout from the New Holland Brewing Company.

Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy host Eat! Drink! Smoke! recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN. Along with the Dragon’s Milk White, the guys smoked The American cigar from J.C. Newman.

There's a bipartisan movement in Congress to get the FDA out of regulating premium cigars. Tony explains why this is a great idea that is long overdue.

A North Carolina restaurant has added a 20% gratuity called a ‘Fair Wage Service Fee’ to every bill for dine-in customers. The restaurant owner sees the fee as a method to close the wage gap between staff who did not make tips and those who did. Will customers go along with this new fee? Should they?

Meanwhile in Texas, a restaurant chain is offering teenagers the opportunity to earn $50,000 as an attempt to lure workers to seek gainful employment. The process involves hiring teens and training them in-house to move into management. Will this be the new way business hire people?

There is a new weight loss tool which gets wired into a patient's mouth that looks like some sort of torture device. The fellas describe it, and list the many reasons why it's a bad idea.

Tony and Fingers are a little early celebrating Independence Day, but quite honestly -- you can never be too early when you're celebrating America. And a good way to celebrate America is to turn to Jack Daniel's -- specifically Gentleman Jack.

Meanwhile in Girl Scout Cookieland, millions of Thin Mints and other Girl Scout cookie offerings may go to waste due to the difficulty of running a cookie sale during a pandemic. What's the solution?

Tony Katz and Fingers Malloy host Eat! Drink! Smoke! recorded live at Blend Bar Cigar in Indianapolis, IN. Along with the Westland American Oak Single Malt, they review the Davidoff Dominicana Toro cigar.

Not too long ago, hackers went after America's fuel supply by launching a cyberattack on computers that managed the Colonial Pipeline. Recently, our food supply was attacked. The world's largest meat supply company was forced to shut down slaughterhouses because of a cyberattack. How can we prevent these attacks in the future? Can we unite as a nation to come up with a solution to this problem?

A lot of crazy things have recently been put up for sale/auction. A cigar butt that was discarded by Winston Churchill just sold at an auction. A chicken nugget that kinda looks like the state of Indiana was listed for sale on Facebook Marketplace. The asking prices will surprise you! Who buys this stuff? Would you?
