On this episode, we head to the Normal Heights area of San Diego, for a sneak peek at the soon to open Whiskers & Wine Bar, a cat lounge & wine bar. Nicole & Chris, owners of Whiskers & Wine Bar gave us a tour of their new venture. They will be offering the opportunity to interact with adoptable cats, while enjoying a nibble from the food counter. Sit back & relax while having a cocktail, beer or glass of wine from their bar which has a full liquor license. Cats are kept separate from the food area. Allergic to cats? No problem. You can see the kitties, separated by a glass...

They were kind enough to take a break from their task to sit down for a chat. Cap'n Dans wife Kelli joined us. We talked about trade tariffs, the pandemic, a changing environment and how these, and many other factors are changing the food systems we have known. We spoke of how the support of the local community is of paramount importance to maintain the availability of local food sources. 
 
Captain Dan & John gave us insight to the life of a lobster fishermen out on the ocean waves. How they got into commercial fishing, how they lay the traps, what it’s like hauling a 65lb lobster pot up from the briny. It was an enlightening conversation. The life of a fisherman is not for the feint of heart.
