Run Eat Drink Podcast

Welcome to the Run Eat Drink Podcast! This is the podcast where we embark on exciting adventures, combining our love for running, delicious food, and tasty beverages. Whether you’re an elite runner aiming for victory or just starting your “Couch to 5K” journey, we’ve got something for you. Let’s dive into the three pillars of our show:

Accomplish (Run): Accomplishment is deeply personal. Are you eyeing a race series win, planning your next “run-cation,” or hoping to set a personal record in your next half-marathon? Each week, we feature fantastic destination races from around the country. Discover scenic courses, learn about the charities they support, and get inspired to lace up those running shoes. And when we’re not on the road, we share interviews, training tips, and insights from our own running journey.

Explore (Eat): Running and traveling go hand in hand. As we explore new places, we also explore local cuisine. We seek out hidden gems—the eateries that locals rave about. Bold flavors, interesting dishes, and passion for food—that’s what we’re after. After each race, join us as we wander the city streets, discovering post-race refueling spots. Whether it’s a gastropub, a food truck, or a cozy café, we’ve got dining options to satisfy your cravings.

Indulge (Drink): When the running is done, it’s time to unwind. We raise our glasses to celebrate our accomplishments. Local breweries, coffee shops, speakeasies, and watering holes—these are our destinations. From craft beers to artisanal cocktails, we explore the beverage scene. Cheers to a well-deserved drink after crossing the finish line!

Join us on this journey of accomplishment, exploration, and indulgence. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or a curious foodie, there’s a place for you at the Run Eat Drink Podcast.

RUN

RunDisney’s Virtual Race Series celebrates 80 years of Marvel. And we are so excited because... our medals came in the mail! You might have seen our unboxing live on Facebook. This month’s medal is one of my favorites... Ironman! We earned it running the path between Port Orleans French Quarter and Riverside resorts. It was so beautiful and a great change of scenery to get in our training runs! Dana was still taking it very easy post-surgery, while Aimee was doing her assigned speed work.

EAT

Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ turned 3 this past Friday, and we saw that he would be there to celebrate at the same time we’d be up at Disney completing the 5K. We featured his thigh high chicken biscuits last summer in Episode 35, which were incredible! But we have never had his Fried Chicken and Doughnuts or Hummingbird Cake, so we went to explore those menu offerings. Of course, we had to start with Fried Green Tomatoes because of our southern roots. All this amazing food, and we also got to talk with Art Smith himself! Turns out, he’s been a runner, too!

DRINK

The Basket at Wine Bar George is a great walk-up window at Disney Springs that offers the chance to create picnic basket and has a menu of small bites we can’t wait to try, but we were there because they have made one of our favorite treats from the Disney Parks into a refreshing frozen alcoholic beverage, the Frozcato. Pineapple Dole Whip, Vodka, and Moscato... what a way to beat the heat in the midst of the hot Florida summer. Over at Raglan Road, Dana had an offering called Tri Wishes, a malty Red Ale from Crooked Can. They offer it in the restaurant or at a stand outside the restaurant to cool you off while you are walking around Disney Springs.

RED Episode #70: Freedom 5K, Danger Danger, and Fort Myers Brewing Company Expansion Jul 09, 2019

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

RUN

As we said last week, Dana is injured, so Aimee had to run this week’s race on her own! Aimee chose the Freedom 5K in Cape Coral because it had a bridge on the course and needed to incorporate some bridge work before the Anchorage RunFest! It was a morning race, so there was a beautiful view over the water as the sun came up. It was very hot and humid, so hydration was key! They had one water stop setup and it was available twice on this out and back course, so that was great. It was a safe and well-managed course. The bridge was steep but it was great to get some of that work into training because hill work is hard to come by in Florida! The shirt was great - a dark green one with an American Flag in the middle of a star as the logo. The swag bag... of course Aimee’s favorite part was the free pint card inside from Big Storm Brewing! It was a great way to support the military museum in town and to get some key training in ahead of our half marathon in August.

EAT

We went to Danger Danger in Cape Coral because we want to continue to celebrate the awesome business independent small business owners who are bringing such amazing food to our hometown. We had their Falafel Burger which is a crispy chickpea patty with a chimichurri and a yum yum sauce on it, pickled onion, arugula, and a wheat roll. AND it is 100% Vegan! It was so good and a great option when we want to stay Vegan during the week.

We had their Danger Dog as well. This is a hot dog and as it was the 4th of July, we wanted to celebrate with an All-American day meal with the Danger Danger twist. It was a bacon-wrapped hot dog with pinto beans, avocado, pick, chipotle mayo, and jalapeño on a bun. So good!

DRINK

We went to Fort Myers Brewing Company to end our 4th of July weekend. True, we featured this brewery on Episode #41 when we talked to Joel Germain and he took us through a great flight of beer after we ran the Cops and Joggers 5k, but they have so many great brews at this brewery and we are so happy to see that they are expanding to include a new food truck space, tasting hall, manufacturing and packaging facility, and private event space. We had to go back and try more of their vast and ever-expanding menu of original beers!

Aimee had these beers:

Key Lime Wheat 5%

Lime Shake Berliner 4%

Tart Like a Tiger 3.2%

Caramel Strong 9.2%

RED Episode #69

RUN

We asked: What are your running mantras when things get challenging on a run or during a period of injury? You submitted some great feedback. We share and discuss what keeps you going when things get tough.

EAT

It was a training week for us, so we explored and indulged in a local restaurant, Point 57, right here in Cape Coral. We were there for brunch, but they also have the regular menu available all day. Aimee had the Cast Iron Ribeye with a blue cheese fondue in a skillet served with an onion, green bean and bacon hash. Dana had the Crispy Pork Shank with blue cheese grits and apple chutney. So tasty!

DRINK

At Point 57, there are some pretty tasty cocktails and local brews on tap. Aimee had the Dead on Bourbon, which is worth ordering for the presentation in a smoking skull, rye whiskey, coffee flavors, and a bit of spice. The Summertime in Mexico is tasty as well. Tequila, spiced pear, cardamom, lemon, honey, and maple make this a refreshing and unique cocktail on a hot day. Dana had Islamorada Sandbar Sunday, which made us recall the trip we took to their taproom last October.

Yes, we also had a great time this weekend at Big Storm celebrating the release of their Category 3 Belgian Trippel. Thanks to everyone who was able to join us live! At 9.5 ABV, the darker golden body and strength of Cat 3 is far and away heavier than Category 1, and vastly different from Category 2, with its dried fruit notes and darker body. We also got a bonus release to try, Bromosa Tangerine Brut IPA. Yep, Aimee loved it! Shocking! Tangerine flavor with a bit of hop but not too much on the end of the sip, it was not overly sweet, but the fruit aroma and flavor were just right for a hot Florida day.

Happy 4th of July this week! Are you running in a great 4th of July race? Let us know about it so we can shout you out next week. And let us know, like we said in the show, where you find a great steak, too! Our email is info@runeatdrink.net. Or you can call at 941- 677-2733.

RED Episode #68: Training through Injury & Flashback to Below the Radar in Huntsville Jun 25, 2019

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

RUN

In this episode, we talk about training challenges and how to overcome them. Then we ask for your feedback and how you overcome training challenges because in this training week, Dana is coming back from injury and starting back to training slowly. At the same time, Aimee had a long run distance of 14 miles in the heat and humidity of the Florida summer, which presents its own challenges that we all encounter and need to overcome at some point in a training cycle.

EAT

My cameraman had a work trip to Huntsville a couple of weeks ago. We spent some time around some amazing exhibits at the US Space and Rocket Center. We stayed near the Von Braun Center and Big Spring International Park, which was a great park to run in right outside our hotel.

Huntsville has their own Craft Beer Trail that incorporates the fantastic breweries and tap houses we had the opportunity to visit.

We flash back to our visit to Below the Radar Brewhouse, where we had some tasty brews and some out of this world Fish and Chips for lunch when we visited the Brewhouse. I actually thought the fish and chips were the stars of our visit. Flaky white fish perfectly cooked and battered in beer batter that was crunchy, a little salty, and perfect with a hit of malt vinegar. It is on the heavier side as an entree, so we would recommend it as a dinner item or to split it if you are having it for lunch, but it is delicious no matter what the time of day.

DRINK

We had a flight of six original beers while we had the meal and actually saw the brewing process in action while we ate.

The beers I had were:

Imperial Brown (Brown Ale) 8% ABV

Baltic Porter By Robo, Andrew, Alex, and Clint 7.6% ABV

Mild Thang (English Mild Ale) 3.5% ABV

Strange Wilderness (American Imperial Stout) 9.2% ABV

Voodoo Mary Belgian Dubbel 8% ABV

Mossy Oats Stout (Oatmeal Stout) 7% ABV

RUN

This is the first in a series of 3 summer 5Ks in our runDisney Virtual Race Series. This first medal is in honor of Captain Marvel! We have chosen to run it in our favorite places around Walt Disney World: Hollywood Studios, Epcot, and the Boardwalk.

EAT

Boardwalk Bakery was a great way to get some coffee and a bite to eat before starting our 5K. Their hot breakfast sandwiches and tasty coffee were just the right fuel to get our inner super heroes ready for our race. The Butter Butter and Ooey Gooey Breakfast Sandwiches were so good!

While we were at Disney, we went to Sanaa Lounge in the Animal Kingdom Lodge for a bite after completing our 5K. There we had the Indian-Style Bread Service and it was amazing! We got all five breads: Traditional Naan, Garlic-Ginger Naan, Spiced Naan, Onion Kulcha, or Paneer Paratha. And of course we got all nine sauces: Cucumber Raita, Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, Mango Chutney, Tomato-Date Jam, Tamarind Chutney, Coriander Chutney, Garlic Pickle, Red Chile Sambal, and Spicy Jalapeño-Lime Pickle. Plus a super spicy bonus one that Joe, our bartender brought us when he heard we like spicy sauces. Awesome!

DRINK

Woody’s Lunchbox in Toy Story Land has a Grown Up’s Lemonade with Vodka, Lemonade, and Black Cherry Purée! Refreshing! But also, if it is too early, there are nonalcoholic options like Cold Brew Joffrey’s Coffee.

At Sanaa Lounge we had the Safari Amber Ale and Tusker Premium Lager imported from Kenya. Both beers were refreshing. The Safari Amber Ale was a red ale with a malty character and no bitterness. The Tusker Premium Lager was a light yellow and super refreshing citrus flavor. Both were nice choices on a hot day!

QUICK BITE: INNER SPACE BREWING COMPANY

My cameraman had a work trip to Huntsville a couple of weeks ago. We spent some time around some amazing exhibits at the US Space and Rocket Center. We stayed near the Von Braun Center and Big Spring International Park, which was a great park to run in right outside our hotel.

Huntsville has their own Craft Beer Trail that incorporates the fantastic breweries and tap houses we had the opportunity to visit. So many that we could not cover them all on the episodes.

In this Quick Bite, we flash back to our visit at Inner Space Brewing Company. Owners Daniel and Nicole Wallace were there and so great to talk to about their original brews! They are so knowledgeable and can recommend just the right beer for you.

We did not have to get a flight because we could just order a 5-ounce pour of whatever they had on tap. They even had a beer slushie we could try!

We tried these original brews:

Leila Lager 5.5%
STS Rye Saison 5.5%
Key Lime Gose 5.5%
Andromeda Stout 7%
White Star Wheat 5%
Pub Ale 4.75%
Dark Skies 8%
Blueberry Milkshake 4.75%

One of my favorites was the Key Lime Gose! They were all flavorful and worth the trip!

We are so glad we went and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

QUICK BITE: GREEN BUS BREWING

My cameraman had a work trip to Huntsville a couple of weeks ago. We spent some time around some amazing exhibits at the US Space and Rocket Center. We stayed near the Von Braun Center and Big Spring International Park, which was a great park to run in right outside our hotel.

Huntsville has their own Craft Beer Trail that incorporates the fantastic breweries and tap houses we had the opportunity to visit. So many that we could not cover them all on the episodes.

In this Quick Bite, we recap Green Bus Brewing. We did a live broadcast from there. We had flights of their tasty original beers, but did you know that they also make meads, ciders, and their own beer cheese with two of their own brews?

We tried these in flights:

Tiramisu Milk Stout

Twickenham London Porter

Dominant Red

Camper Van Blonde

Downtown Julie Brown

Their beer cheese is made with their Big Spring IPA and Camper Van Blonde. It was sharp, cheesy, and tangy from the beer. A must when visiting!

Their meads, Spiced Orange at 16% and Earl Grey at 14%, pack a PUNCH! But they are tasty, too!

Their tap room is so cool too. Such nice and knowledgeable people are behind the bar. Wood floors on two different levels, the brewing setup is upstairs and it is also extra seating or what could be a great place to have meetings. They have the front of a VW Bus over their bar on the first floor and walls that incorporate some beautiful brick.

We are so glad we went and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

RED Episode #66: Your Virtual Race Feedback and a Tough Speed Workout, Hunger Station, and Big Storm’s Category 1 Belgian Single Release Jun 04, 2019

Show notes

Send us Fan Mail

RUN

As we have said before, we are following Jeff Galloway’s training plan to prepare for our half marathon at the Anchorage RunFest in August. We are e-coaching clients of his and this week, instead of a long run, we were working on half miles and trying to hit a target in a certain time. We did 6 half miles, but the heat and humidity in Florida is really a challenge at this time of year and we made the mistake of starting a bit too late in the morning. We did pour ice water over our heads, as Jeff suggested, and it did help, but while the mileage was around the times that Jeff wanted us to hit, I was slow this week, and I am still a work in progress. I am sure the work with Cadence Drills, Acceleration Gliders, and quarter and half miles along with the long runs will get us there. So my lesson in all of this is: don’t get frustrated with short-term setbacks, and start earlier in the morning because it is a Florida summer after all.

EAT

Since this was a training week, we decided to try a new food truck that was making its debut at No. 3 Craft Brews, Hunger Station. It was some great Mediterranean food. We had Shawarma Fries with a garlic aioli and Falafel Wraps with spicy red sauce. We really wanted the grape leaves but they were out by the time we got to them. But they will be back and making more appearances around Southwest Florida. So, if you love Mediterranean food, you should check them out. They were so nice and let us try samples of the Shawarma while we tried to decide what to order because everything looked and smelled great. They are a fairly new food truck. We can’t wait for them to get their food truck decked out with their logo so we can easily spot them at No. 3 or wherever they might be to snag the grape leaves!

DRINK

Big Storm Brewing Company has a series of beer dedicated to making the best of hurricane season and their release schedule starts on the first day of that season. We had a live beer chat dedicated to trying Category 1 Belgian Single, which is their first release. We talk about it on this episode as well. It has a nice yellow body and it is a bit cloudy. It reminds us of a Hoegaarden with its banana and clove notes, but we get more clove than banana out of this one. I think it is on the higher end of sessionable beers.

RUN

We did the Ice Cream 5K at Al Lopez Park plus mileage to get to 10 total for this week’s long run. It was the same place that our cameraman went to do the Tampa Beer Run last week and the site of our first episode. But we went back because I could not go last week and because that park is incredible in terms of its course and shade to get some high mileage in that we were assigned this week. We got 5 in before the race started and then we were off on the 5K to get an unexpected medal and free ice cream!

We saw a lot of families that participated in the 5K and kids races. There were two ice cream trucks for us to choose from when we got our free cup of ice cream, and the cherry ice cream from Sunny’s Nitro Ice Cream was awesome after our first 8 miles in the park. Then we finished our last two miles and we were off to refuel!

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU, TOO! In the coming weeks, we will be talking about virtual races and what we think of them. So, email us at info@runeatdrink.net or call and leave us a message at 941- 677-2733. Let us know what your thoughts are about virtual races you’ve done or just the concept of virtual races in general. Send us a voice recording, write us an email, or call and leave us a message and we’ll share your feedback in our next episode.

EAT

The night before the 5k, we went to one of our favorites, the Columbia Restaurant. Their 1905 salad, Cuban sandwich, and Spanish Bean Soup as well as the Crab Croquettes are all incredible items from their menu that we reviewed on our first episode and quick bites. (Can you tell we are celebrating the 2nd anniversary of our podcast over several weeks, even though it doesn’t officially happen until June 17th).

Our official feature for this episode is Big Ray’s Fish Camp. It is famous online for the grouper sandwich. Everyone says it is the best one around. We want to go back to have that, but we were craving Fish Dip and our cameraman’s sister said that we had to have the shrimp corn dog. Plus, a favorite of his mom’s was Grouper cheeks, and they have a buffalo version we had to order. We had local beer in cans and bottles. Their prices are reasonable for the delicious seafood they offer. They have some indoor seating, but most of their seating area is a big porch on the side of the restaurant. It has to be so nice lit up at night. We will return!

DRINK

81Bay Brewing is in a huge warehouse-like space that had a great bar, a huge projector with video games setup on the side, as well as a Farmer’s Market going on when we arrived. They also have an event room and awesome artwork all over the brewery from local artists selling it. Their sinks outside their bathrooms have kegs setup as their sinks for washing your hands! Their brewery is visible from the bar, and at the bar there are friendly bartenders who helped us setup our flights. Across from the bar is an entire wall that looks like an under-the-sea scene projected onto it behind the stage where they have live music on some nights.

I had these unique flavors while we were there but they had lots o
