Welkom! We transported our taste buds to the Netherlands on this weekend’s show, live from The Dutch Eatery & Refuge in Main Gate Square!

Chef Marcus and Nicole van Winden, Matt Russell & Mike Mallozzi

Our celebrity co-host was Mike Mallozzi of Borderlands Brewing Company who got us up to speed on his creative canning program with some fun stories behind his latest beers’ names. We also heard from Jim “Murph” Murphy of Kingfisher who revealed his plans for this year’s Kingfisher OysterFest. The Dutch co-owner Nicole van Winden, the brain trust behind the bar’s beverage program, then shared the story behind her cocktail program and treated us to a few selections. Blackberry whiskey lemonade? Yes please!

Dutch Bitterballen. Addictive. You’ve been warned.

We were then joined by The Dutch co-owner and executive chef Marcus van Winden, who shared some memorable moments from his journey, a little about his unique menu, and some of his items: braised duck tacos and the classic Dutch treat known as Bitterballen. Ja!
