RUN
While we had to defer Rock ‘n’ Roll Clearwater to 2023 due to the hurricane, we were still on track as far as our training goes. We talk about how we are coming back from the hurricane and preparing for our next scheduled race, the Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend in November. In addition, back before the hurricane, we wanted to discuss this… news from D23 that the Disneyland races will return in 2024! What do we expect the experience to be like in terms of the registration process, the weekend itself, and the medals? We are hoping it will be epic, but most of all… that we can get into the race weekend.
EAT
The end of September brings National Lobster Day each year. We love lobster, so we thought we’d take a look back at some great lobster dishes we’ve had in the history of our show, plus a return to a favorite place to celebrate.
Quick Bite #80: Listener Recommendation at DJ’s Clam Shack (Famous Lobster Roll)
Episode #87: 2019 Wine and Dine Half Marathon & Dana’s Picks from Epcot Food & Wine Festiva (Lobster Roll at Hops & Barley Booth)
Episode #105: Keep Accomplishing, Exploring, and Indulging with Us Virtually (Our favorite lobster roll from a local food truck Mobstah Lobstah)
Episode #125: A Training Run At Walt Disney World and a Peek at Some 2020 Epcot Food and Wine Festival Offerings (Citrus Blossom Booth Half Lobster Tail... Yum!)
Episode #138: We had a great dinner at the Fish Tale Grill We split a Captain’s platter with shrimp cocktail, snow crab, stone crab, king crab, lobster tail, and clams plus so much more! It came with cocktail sauce, drawn butter, and a creamy mustard dip. The meat was briny and juicy. The sauces complemented the seafood so well.
We took a trip to Mobstah Lobstah while they were staged in Sarasota at Calusa Brewing celebrate this non-holiday holiday. This food truck never disappoints. Their lobster rolls are restaurant-quality dishes that all should try, as we have said before each time we have talked about their food on the show. This was the way to celebrate. But they also have other delicious seafood dishes, too, proving that they are, as Dana would say, not just a “one-trick pony.” If you come down to Florida for races and see this truck, don’t think, just walk up, wait in the line they usually have, and order. You will not be sorry!
DRINK
Calusa Brewing is located in Sarasota, a little over an hour from us. This is where Mobstah Lobstah was over the weekend prior to Hurricane Ian, and we hadn’t checked this place out. So, we took a day trip up to Sarasota, and we were so pleased with the variety of brews, the space, the staff, and the experience. Calusa Brewing gives back to the community, and we always love to see that. The brewery was hosting a fundraiser for the Apple A Day Foundation, an organization that helps improve quality of life for children as they battle cancer. In lieu of flights, they offer short pours and pints. We loved the strategy because we could sample responsibly.
THAT’S A WRAP!
