As there is now a one-hour news program beginning at noon, we've decided to move the program up an hour. So, starting the Thursday after Thanksgiving (Nov. 30th), Just a Taste will run from 10:00 AM until noon. Have a good holiday (for those in the U.S.), and I'll catch you all in two weeks.

P.S. Combo Plate (Fridays, 3-5 PM Pacific Time) remains unchanged.
