This episode, Vicki told us about tasting a fabulous Peanut Butter & Jelly cocktail. It inspired us to dream up the 4 course menu for a pop-up restaurant: NAME TBD! which serves cocktails inspired by food and food inspired by cocktails.

This was the menu:

Starter: Greek Salad Sling (cocktail) paired with Champagne Soup (cuisine)

Appetizer: Tomato Soup Toddy (cocktail) & Grilled Cheese Martini (cuisine)

Entree: Pot Pie (cocktail) with Penne Alla Negroni (cuisine)

Dessert: Red Bean Mochi Shoju (cocktail)

After the break!

Vicki can speak to plants?! "Any plant really" - Vicki

Q&A With Vicki About Her Plant Speaking Abilities

Q: Are there any intra-plant conflicts?

A: No one really likes vines. There's always a bad apple.

Q: So plants speak a language based on location?

A: You can understand tone, but they do have native dialects for a given area.

Q: When I buy a potato, is it dead or still alive?

A: Yeah okay, so, this is kinda a question of dormancy. It's like, in a deep deep sleep. I'm not gonna try and tell you not to eat the potato, it's the circle of life. I just need you to know, the potato is mad when you take his brother out of the bag.
