David and Lesley are sharing a couple of spirited late summer conversations before returning to interviews this fall. This time, they start with vineyard chores under the blazing sun—leaf-pulling, mulching and the dangers of farm machinery—before moving to kitchens past and present, swapping horror stories of burns, cuts and chemical mishaps.

Along the way, David talks about a community dinner he prepared in Prince Edward County, and Lesley shares a deep dive into Montréal's most meticulous sushi counter. The conversation closes on a tougher note, and listener discretion is advised: allegations of abuse in restaurants, candid reflections on the hosts' own experiences and how the industry has evolved with #metoo movement scrutiny.
