On this week’s Vickers Review, Jon recommends the movie, “After the Wedding.”  This movie will move you to tears as the main character Jacob is asked to be part of a wedding.  In doing so, he will be able to save the orphanage that he runs in India.  Check it out on DVD today and find out what Jacob will do to save what he has dedicated his whole life to – helping children.

We are on location at Palermo’s in Elkhart with Tony Sanfilippo.  He will be preparing a tasty dish of Carbonara and letting us in on the historical story of how the dish was named.  Make sure to stop by and sample some delicious Italian cuisine by Tony!
