The right wine with the right plate, the right beer to pair with the right meat, music at with your merlot, a violinist, a Mariachi band; its all been tried and tested true but a poet with your pot roast, an author with your entree, reading while you dine, now there’s a dish with a difference. Thats the idea on the table for writer Johnny Wideman and his Full Bodied Short Stories project.

Wideman has partnered with Rouge River Brewery and The Smokery for Full Bodied Short Stories: Hopped Edition. The brewery presents three beers, The Smokery pairs three dishes and Johnny adds a fair tale inspired by the fare at hand.

Nineteen on the Park Theatre, in Stouffville, ON, is the location for literary locavores, it take place Saturday Feb 2, 2019. Doors open 7 p.m.
