   COOKING WITH BRUCE & MARK is going on hiatus . . . and not for a good reason

   Our podcast is going on hiatus because Mark is facing the threat of pancreatic cancer. He is going to have a legendary surgery, a Whipple, to remove part of his upper GI track. We hope this surgery is curative. But it is a long road to recovery. We hope Bruce is back in a few weeks to let you know where we are in this journey. But it is a long and hard recovery. Check back soon to see where we are. We'll miss you. We hope you'll miss us. To follow us, find us on various social media platforms.
