    Food and Film: Hilary Mace and Ron Moore on new cafes, Red Rose Film Fest & America Revitalized

    I had a blast chatting with Hilary Mace from Scarlet Runner and Ron Moore from the Why This Film? podcast about Food, Film, and some Fall Foliage as well! Hilary and I both checked out the new OddBird Neighborhood Cafe that opened recently in Akron, PA. It’s a delightful family owned cafe with a full breakfast and lunch menu, including the best burger that Hilary’s had in a long time! Hilary also shared about a new local initiative called America Revitalized that is hosting an event at West Art on October 26 with a full panel talking about all aspects of food and health from farm to fork. Ron shared details about the upcoming Red Rose Film Festival hitting Lancaster theaters on November 12 to November 15. He also checked out the brand new Underground Film District, a monthly series showing at Penn Cinema featuring local films and opportunities to network with other filmmakers in Central PA. Finally, Ron mentioned that Penn Cinema will be showing Rocky for several nights in the theater to celebrate the 50th anniversary of this classic Philly film. We closed the show with a peek at the brand new Pearl Cafe and Bakery, and discussed a couple other favorite local bakeries: Elsewhere and Front Porch. We’ll be keeping an eye on the Pearl Cafe and getting over there for some events soon! Thanks for listening!

    Around Lancaster: Adam Grim Looks at Columbia and Tony Gorick Talks Tales From the Shadows

    Spooky season is upon us as the leaves begin to fall and we start seeing pumpkins popping up on porches throughout the county. Adam Grim and I are joined by Tony Gorick, the sales and marketing manager at Decades, Lancaster city’s barcade and restaurant. Tony organized a special weekend long event called “Tales From The Shadows: A Cryptid & Paranormal Weekend” in collaboration with several other downtown businesses. Adam also recounted a few incredible cultural events that went down last month in Lancaster: Restaurant Week, a series of shows called Blank from Prima Theatre, and ROOTED, a contemporary dance performance by Luna Dance Company. We also discussed a new hotel in Columbia, a Hampton Inn by Hilton opening in an old potato chip factory that will include a rooftop lounge overlooking the Susquehanna River. As always, there’s way more going on than we can fit on one episode. Be sure to drop a line and let us know what you’re looking forward to this spooky season!  Thanks for listening!

    Food and Film: Hilary Mace & Joel Chandler on Good Eats While Eating Good and Ron Moore on Films

    We’re talking about food and film. On the food side, I’m joined by Hilary Mace, the founder of The Scarlet Runner, a wildly popular catering business based in Lancaster between 2011 and 2021. Hilary closed down during the pandemic and left the area to live in remote locations in Arizona and Idaho. While she returned to the Lancaster area about two years ago, she just recently relaunched The Scarlet Runner. Hilary and I are joined by Lancaster fitness coach Joel Chandler, who recently published The Lancaster Nutrition Handbook. It’s a guide to over a dozen Lancaster City restaurants from the perspective of eating for your fitness goals. The guide includes calorie and macro estimates for some of your favorite restaurants in Lancaster. Ron Moore, a Lancaster County film enthusiast and the host of the Why This Film? podcast, joined me to break down the Lancaster film scene. Ron will be back each month to report on special screenings, original film projects, and events wrapped around film in Lancaster County. As usual there’s a lot going on around Lancaster and a ton of great restaurants to enjoy. Be sure to get out and support our incredible locally-owned restaurant scene. - Jason (all of these words came from my brain) Links: The Candy Factory (TCF Coworking + Social Club) https://clubtcf.com So Good Lancaster https://sogoodlancaster.com Food The Scarlet Runner (Hilary Mace) https://thescarletrunner.com The Lancaster Nutrition Handbook (Joel Chandler) https://utu.synchronycoaching.net/ Lancaster Central Market https://centralmarketlancaster.com Souvlaki Boys Grill https://www.souvlakiboys.com Himalayan Curry & Grill https://himalayanlancaster.com 551 West https://551west.com Chellas Arepa Kitchen https://eatchellas.com Film Why This Film?

    Around Lancaster: Adam Grim & Jenn Knepper chatting about Lancaster Review and Gifts That Give Hope

    It’s Labor Day week and that means school is back in season, the days are getting a little shorter, and (hopefully) the weather will cool off just a bit in the coming weeks. On the program today we welcome Adam Grim from The Lancaster Review and Jenn Knepper from Gifts That Give Hope for a chat about a bunch of stuff happening around Lancaster County in September. Adam filled us in on what’s been happening at The Lancaster Review, a weekly newsletter and online local news page covering events and culture all around the county. He gave us a sneak peek at some stories he and his team are working on for upcoming issues. Adam will be a regular contributor on the show to keep us up to date on Lancaster county happenings and profiles of the characters that make up the cultural fabric of Lancaster. Gifts That Give Hope is an alternative gift fair where you can skip the Black Friday sales and put your money back into our local community through donations to area non-profits and purchasing goods from social conscience local vendors for the holidays. For its 19th year, the fair has been moved up this year to October 10 at 10am, instead of its usual schedule in late November or early December. Don’t miss it! September is going to be busy and beautiful. Be sure to get out and about in Lancaster County as we wind down summer and look forward to fairs, football, and sweater weather! - Jason (all of these words came from my brain) Links: The Candy Factory (TCF)  https://clubtcf.com Chellas  https://eatchellas.com Lancaster Review  https://lancasterreview.com Chellas Arepa Kitchen  https://eatchellas.com Gifts That Give Hope Lancaster  https://giftsthatgivehopelancaster.org One World Festival  https://oneworldfestivallancaster.org Farm & Home Center (gift fair venue)  https://farmandhomecenter.org We want to hear from YOU!

We chatted about the abundance of events coordinated by the city for September, including Welcoming Week, a nationally recognized initiative that is coming to Lancaster through a celebration highlighting our diverse culture, neighborhoods, businesses, & residents. Among a ton of other events we chatted about the first Capital Day Festival, coming to Penn Square on Saturday, September 26, 2026. Speaking of September 26, it's shaking out to be one of the busier days of the month. Katherine shared that two arts festivals are also scheduled for that day in Lancaster County, including the Landis Woods Outdoor Fine Arts Show and Columbia's "Art in the Park" in the Locust Street Park. As always, the annual Labor Day arts festival at Long's Park is on tap this week along with another First Friday in downtown Lancaster, that has been a staple event in the city for over two decades.
