Baseball and BBQ Episode #160:  Author Extraordinaire, Erik Sherman and Foodies Extraordinaire, Amaris Pollock and Gene Blum
 
Erik Sherman writes baseball books and he does that exceptionally well.  Whether the books are about one specific player or one specific team, Erik provides wonderful and unique perspectives which baseball fans will thoroughly enjoy.  We last had Eric on the show approximately one year ago to promote his book, Two Sides of Glory:  The 1986 Boston Red Sox In Their Own Words.  We are glad to welcome him back to discuss his latest venture into the podcasting arena with the extremely entertaining, The Eric Sherman Show.  Erik tells us about his connection to actress, Jamie Lee Curtis, his first professional writing experience, and the honor of being selected as a member of the 2023 New York State Baseball Hall of Fame.  For more information on Eric, including his podcast and books, go to https://www.erikshermanbaseball.com/
Amaris Pollock and Gene Blum are very entertaining foodies who have teamed up, taken over, and applied their unique spin and personalities to the Food, Farms, & Chefs podcast.  Amaris is a food photographer and journalist, while Gene is a chef and culinary historian.  Ask them a question, and it is almost guaranteed at least one, if not both, of them, will provide a thorough, interesting, and entertaining response.  They can recommend places to eat in or around their beloved city of Philadelphia.  Just tell them the type of food you desire, and they will tell you the best place to find it. We discuss cheese steaks and barbecue.  Favorite barbecue for Amaris is Memphis style, and Gene is partial to South Carolina style.  Find their podcast here https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/food-farms-chefs/id1438550630
