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 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?

Speaking of buying stuff -- Amazon Prime Day is coming! When? The guys will fill you in on what you need to know.
