After more than 35 years in journalism, Marie-Claude Lortie joins David and Derek for a conversation about the food and media businesses, and the pleasure of learning to slow down.

The former La Presse restaurant critic, columnist and editor reflects on restaurant reviewing before Instagram, the changing power of food media, and why a good restaurant is not only about what is on the plate.

Now recovering and taking life at a slower pace, Lortie also talks about surviving cancer, and revisits some of her core issues: food waste, eating terroir or hyperlocal, and Québec's inefficient liquor monopoly.
