This week on The Main Course Patrick and Mike sit down with energy guru Matthew Rubin, a hydro-electric pioneer responsible for 1 percent of Vermont’s (sustainable!) energy. Jason Colucci of Pulino’s and Matt Hamilton of Belcourt join Rachel Shukert (author of “Everything is Going to be Great”) in lamenting the unfortunate quality of Dutch cuisine and the even less fortunate quality of “Eat, Pray, Love” (shudder). This episode was sponsored by Hearst Ranch: purveyors of grass-fed beef from the California coast.
