Join me today in my hometown of Thunder Bay, Ontario for a talk about a legendary Coney Island-style joint plus a relative newcomer to the culinary scene that really has changed the game in Northwestern Ontario. I also look ahead to the next two full episodes of the podcast, the first featuring three interviews on what to drink with our food and the second to feature a chef/lawyer in Asia!

Today I’m back in Las Vegas, meeting up with a new friend, Kristy Totten of the Spicy Eyes Podcast. Together, Kristy and I interview Chef Jamie Tran of Black Sheep Las Vegas. Chef shares some great stories, from cooking over fire in the blackouts of California to explaining just how dodgeball provided essential training for her kitchen career. We also get into cultural identity in cooking, on-Strip versus off-Strip dining, and a four-ingredient technique that Chef uses to improve just about ever...

While I really did have good intentions to bring you the interview from Black Sheep Las Vegas this week, an oh-so-understandable delay means that it’s a snack-sized show this week, featuring more detail on the food stops during the last trip to Las Vegas, some thoughts about a trip to New York City coming up this fall, and a look ahead to some upcoming interviews on the drinks side of the culinary world. Detailed show notes are at the Cheftimony website.

I recently spent three very fun days in Las Vegas with three close friends. We made our obligatory donations at the craps tables, lounged by the pool, and took in a lot of good food. On today’s short episode, I’ll take you through some of the culinary stops and introduce you to a new friend who brings an insider’s view of the Vegas food scene (along with some restaurant recommendations that just may be brand new to you!).

On today’s show, Vancouver’s Chef Robert Belcham helps me look back over some shared years in the industry but also ahead to what’s in store for restaurants, for cooks, for chefs and for all of us as restaurant guests. With a background in fine dining and whole animal butchery, Robert has built – quite literally – some of the best restaurants in the city. Join us from the back room of his Campagnolo restaurant on Vancouver’s Main Street. Detailed show notes are at the Cheftimony website.

Today’s episode comes from the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia. I’ve been lucky to live on the Coast since late-2017. It’s an absolutely beautiful spot, close to Vancouver but pleasantly distant at the same time. In recent years, the Coast has seen a lot of development and that has brought both controversy and a seriously-improved culinary scene. Today, I speak to the partnership behind a brilliant Italian restaurant in the heart of the village of Gibsons. Detailed show notes are at the Cheft...

Today’s snack has some information about two upcoming full-length episodes, one from Gibsons, BC on the Sunshine Coast, and the other from Main Street in Vancouver. I also have a short interview from a place that’s very close to my heart, the legendary McKellar Confectionery in my hometown of Thundery Bay. This place has been serving up crave-inducing Coney-style hamburgers and hotdogs since 1926, and it’s a meal I share with my (now 89-year-old) father every time I’m in town. Join me from the c...
