This episode was so much fun to record as we were able to catch up with an old friend, Chef Ric Orlando who lives in the Hudson Valley. We dart all over the place talking about his passion of making people happy and entertaining them with his food and fun personality. He closed his restaurant after 25 years, New World Bistro Bar in Woodstock, NY in 2018, but continued to concentrate on the ‘Urban” Albany NWBB until recently. It has been very important for Ric to be connected with his community and has supported them over the years with fundraisers and events. Just because he doesn’t work in a restaurant every day, Ric has not slowed at all – he continues with his cooking classes, podcasts, culinary travel, monthly pop-ups and he even launched his Flavor Maker Spice line. I look forward to all of the creative things that are around his corner! Sink into this one! Full of great perspective and Ric’s history. We never did get a chance to hear him play his guitar though!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
