Shawn Leave a comment

Shawn commits turkey terrorism by suggesting that *gasp* turkey shouldn’t be roasted whole while Simon tries a more moderate approach. Gather ’round the table folks cause this episode has all the fixings!

Eat | Drink | Cheap Episode 07 – Cabbage

Shawn Leave a comment

Shawn and Simon show some love for the humble cabbage. Plus, what makes a good coleslaw and why something as stupid as edible gold has a place on your plate.

Jess Garner’s Untitled Food Media Project

Shawn Leave a comment

Getting to sit down with two old friends in the middle of a pandemic was an absolute joy.

Jess (who you may remember from my rhapsodic post about old BBQs) joined Nick (my other brother from a BBQ mother) to talk about comfort food for his Untitled Food Media Project. It was over an hour of nerding out about the things that make us go nuts after a long night on the line.

There are conversations about pho, katsu curry, fast food and (of course) bacon. All of this and more is available on Mixcloud.

2019 Post Holiday Gift Guide – Audiobooks About Food

Shawn Leave a comment

I know what you’re thinking; “Post-Holiday Gift Guide” sounds like an article that took a little too long in the oven, maybe a deadline or two got missed and now it’s past time to be of any practical Christmas shopping use.

Plums, Pavarotti and Pork Shoulders : Notes From The 2017 Feast of Fields

Shawn Leave a comment

Recently I discussed at great length how the best part about working in the culinary industry is the people I get to work with. These people are the best people and this past August on a sun-soaked hill in Sannichton I got to be with my people doing what we all enjoy most; serving food to appreciative people surrounded by the astounding beauty of BC at the 2017 Vancouver Island Feast of Fields food festival.

Over forty different food service vendors ranging from restaurants to cola companies all with a “farm to fork” ethos filled ten circus-sized tents and a barn full of more good stuff at Ravenhill Herb Farm. The event raised a ton of money for FarmFolk CityFolk  (a local non-profit that raises awareness of and provides help to local food producers) and gave us cooks a chance to get out of the kitchen and into the late August, fried-eggs-on-tarmac heat for a few hours.
