Let's Talk About Chef

This new episode of Lets Talk About Chef is our next instalment of our talk/watch food movies. Both Tim and Brian are back again to chat about the masterpiece that is Ratatouille.
Listen as two grown ass men gush about their love of rat who loves to cook, 

If you are in isolation, which you probably are, watch Ratatouille and listen to the episode afterwards for our take on what makes this the greatest food movie ever made.

Wherever you are in the world we hope you stay safe and hopefully we will see all of you on the other side of this. 

There is some swearing and a lot of laughter on this episode, we hope you enjoy it and if you have a suggestion as to what movie you would like to hear us review next you can email us at [email protected] or you can follow Brian on Instagram @chefbrianclarke 

It would be stupid to not recognize and discuss what is happening in the world right now. Restaurants are closing, people are dying, the corona virus has taken over the world and to be honest we weren't going to make anymore shows until an email came in from a listener quarantined in Italy who asked for more episodes, and so here we are. 

This weeks episode of Lets Talk About Chef is about MSG, and how one letter of disinformation almost brought the entire industry of Chinese food in North America to its knees. 

There is some swearing but honestly who really cares about swearing right now. 

Today Brian lost his job as a chef because the province of Ontario shut the doors on restaurants, and so with nothing to do for the next few weeks as we battle covid-19 he will be making podcasts for you to enjoy.

We know how terrible and messed up this situation is and we hope that we can help by making shows for you to listen to, if anything we hope to make you smile. 

We want to read what's happening to you on the next episode so send your letters to [email protected] and Brian will read them.

Stay safe, stay isolated if you can, we will get through this. 

Love

This week on Lets Talk About Chef we are telling a story that has been all but forgotten about one of the most important and revered men in history.
Charles Darwin didn't just come up with the theory of evolution, he didn't just sail about the world on the HMS Beagle to discover animals and document what he found, he also killed and ate everything he discovered. His hunger for exotic meat drove him to travel the world, and it was his hunger that resulted in him discovering the theory that made the world change.

This week on a brand new episode of Lets Talk About Chef and the first episode of 2020 host Brian Clarke dives into first times in food history. From the first time a freak vegetable of science was approved by the FDA to the alarmingly racist songs ice cream trucks have been blasting to children since the 1950's get ready for the first episode of 2020.

WARNING: as previously mentioned this episode contains descriptions of racism that some may find offensive, we sincerely apologize but do hope that you understand that history can be uncomfortable to talk about. We in no way agree with or condone anything talked about in todays episode and frankly think that ice cream trucks need to change their music.
