RED Episode #118: Training Updates, Arekie Food Truck, Nice Guys Pizza, and Celebrating National Bourbon Day

RUN

Dana talks about getting in his final run for his Nano Gauntlet from Medal Chasers.  The rain and humidity of Florida summer have been a challenge, but we did it.  Our schedule, as with most other runners, has changed to a mostly virtual race schedule, and we are making plans and seeking out races to make it the best ever.  To that end, if any of you are looking for a virtual race, we have a discount code for the Virtual Pace Series website to offer everyone in the Runcation Nation.  Use RUNEATDRINK10 at their website to get 10% any event!  

We are also gearing up for our RunDisney Virtual Race Series, so we talk about our first 5K in that series themed around the Mad Tea Party.  We are making plans to ensure it is full of Disney magic.  

Next weekend is Father’s Day, and we also talk about a couple of great gifts for the running dads out there! Check them out here:

EAT 

Arekie Food Truck was recommended to us by one of our founders, and it did not disappoint.  The food from this truck is top-notch and is a fusion of Latin and Indian Cuisine.  We ordered Butter Chicken with Naan on the side.  It had white rice and Tandoori Chicken in a creamy tomato sauce with pickled onion, cilantro, and cheese. It was rich, decadent, and could have been served in any upscale restaurant.  There is so much more we want to try from this truck.  We have seen it at many of our favorite places in Southwest Florida from Fort Myers Brewing Company to No. 3 Craft Brews.  

Another place that created a great fusion dish that we got to try this week is Nice Guys Pizza.  We were so happy to hear that we could sit inside once again at 2nd home for us and even more excited to hear they have created a Chicken Pizza Masala.  Or if you are looking for a Vegan version, Tofu Pizza Masala.  You can even ask for them with a bit of extra spice.  We talk about how good it was to be there again and have this delicious addition to their menu.

DRINK

We celebrated National Bourbon Day over this past week, and in this episode, we talk about two of our favorite bourbons, Buffalo Trace and Larceny.  Two of our favorites offer two unique flavors to experience as you celebrate with your favorite bourbon beverage.  One made with more rye and the other with more wheat.  We highlight these two and talk about some of our favorite bourbon cocktails.   

THAT’S A WRAP!
