Big Locals Podcast

The Chocolate Daddy himself, Han Nguyen, has come a looong way to become the funk-tastic chocolatier we all know and love in the local scene. 

The one and only @loverboyfinechocolate has become a household name (at least in my household) and is often regarded as much more than just chocolate: it's a religious experience every time we pick up one of Han's Thicc bars! 

From dark chocolate, dried cherries, and smoked almonds to white chocolate strawberry limeade, the Chocolate Daddy has something for everyone in the local markets. And if you can't make it to the local markets, find Han jam skating around Denver getting down with his funky self. Han knows how to have a good time and wants to spread the fun and love through roller skating and his decadent thiccy chocolate bars!

TREAT YO SELF! Chef Mark of Zest and Savor @zestandsavor is such an extraordinary human being utilizing both sides of his brain to create these experiential concoctions on your plate. When my wife and I had a birthday coming up, we thought, "What's something fun we haven't done that is still COVID friendly for our family?" We were turned to Chef Mark Galvan of Zest and Savor to give us a treat we haven't experienced before.

Mark's interesting background growing up in a small town in the midwest, to becoming a ski bum and cook in mountain towns, to traversing the Appalachian trail, to starting his business, he brings all of his experience to the table and it is delicious!

Everything you need to have Mark provide almost anything event related (wedding cakes, small events, cooking classes, meal prep, etc.) can be perused through his website at

Herbalism, garnishes, cocktails, and furloughs, oh my! Katie Green of @the.boozybotanist keeps it real during this fantastic episode as she goes through her growing appreciation of plants, her inspiration behind creating her More Than Maple simple syrup, and keeping in touch with her "roots" as she touches on how human nature is still a part of nature, no matter how far we deviate from it in western culture.

I've been known to have a heavy hand in creating cocktails for myself and my friends, but luckily Katie is there to help me out. The first couple minutes of the interview gives the audience a playbook of how to concoct her Festivus Old Fashioned, and you'll occasionally hear us sipping on it throughout the episode. Everything you'll need for the Festivus Old Fashioned can be purchased through https://www.theboozybotanist.shop/

Spoiler alert: It's goooood.

It's time to stop thinking about the humans for a bit and start thinking about the beings that can do no wrong in our eyes: Pets! The loveable furry family members that roam around your house deserve the best, and I can't think of anything more motivating for those good dogs and cats out there than the Chonkies created by Cate's Pet Food @catespet.

Nutritionally fortified, craved by cats and dogs (and humans like Trip) alike, and built upon the foundation of bringing rescue pets up to good health, Cate's Chonkies are everything you need and desire from a local vendor keeping your furry family members in harmony, mentally and physically.

I feel like I'm reading off of that Nesquik commercial: "Kid Delicious, Mom Nutritious"
