About this episode

This episode discusses the legendary Connecticut Leather Man and his mysterious walking route.

Legend has it, there once was a man who would walk the same route spanning 365 miles and 34 days. Covered head to toe in leather he would walk this route, like clock work. And to this day no one knows why he did it.... This week we are talking about the legendary Connecticut Leather man, who walked this route every day for decades. Similar to how Forrest Gump ran across America, Old Leather man walked around and around Connecticut and other neighboring states. Our food and drink pairing for this week is a steamed burger, a Connecticut specialty with a Moscow Mule with or without alcohol.
