This week we start by checking in with Tim to see how the pandemic is treating him and then its full steam ahead into the little ice age that lasted five hundred years from 1300-1800 and is the reason we all eat potatoes. I know, its sounds like a broad stretch but I promise you it makes total sense, I mean what have you come to expect from this show anyway? Its usually something that Brian sees and finds interesting and then wants to talk about, its really quite selfish when you think about it, I don't really think anyone reads these descriptions so if you have please feel free to write into the show by sending everything to

Hibernation is something that has been on Brians mind a lot lately, wether it be because winter is coming and in Canada you have to hide indoors, or the fact that the coronavirus has caused all of to hibernate while we wait for a vaccine to allow us to return to our daily lives. 
As the world keeps marching on towards a future where travelling through space for vast distances is becoming more of a reality the very real problem that we as humans can't hibernate is going to be our downfall. The sheer amount of food that it would take for us to be able to travel to even Jupiter let alone another star is ridiculous.

This week on Let's Talk About Chef host Brian Clarke got another annoying email suggesting that he switch it up and make a true crime podcast. And so seeing as he had no desire to do so instead we made an entire episode about the true crime of Hawaiian pizza. A pizza that was invented in London Ontario and has been universally hated pretty much since then.
