Al and Gemini will share restaurant reports from their recent visits to Winnie and Ethel’s Downtown Diner, The Legends Oyster Bar & Grill, Toasties Burritos, Bar Centro at Bazaar Mar, Fukuburger and D’Agostino’s. And we have news on Caspain’s Kitchen and Caviar and Jason Aldean’s Kitchen, as well as some memories of the now-closed Ocean One.
