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!
