On today's episode, we split it in two so you don't have to hear Kip ramble. First half is Chef Kelly Whitake of Id Est Hospitality sitting down on the pod for the first time in a long time to talk about his journey over the nearly 10 years since he was the last solo guest.

On today's episode presented by IGADI Dispensaries and Meraki Cannabis, we sit down (virtually) with Chef Ming Tsai from Big Sky Montana to talk about the upcoming Food & Wine festival going down Sept 25-27th. 

Chef has a long history of working in hospitality, starting in his mother's restaurant back when he was just a pre-teen in Dayton, OH. Fast-forward to today & he's running an award winning restaurant in Big Sky Montana and preparing for their inaugural Big Sky Food & Wine festival. We talk about his history in the restaurant scene, but also how he fell in love with the industry. His path from Ohio to Boston, Boston to France and then dancing across the country before planting his flag and declaring Montana his home. 

A wonderful episode filled with stories from the kitchen, his family & his dear friends from the community. You'll love his story and this episode, that I am certain.

On today's episode, we recap the wild World Cup run through the states, talk about the week ahead & then dive into our interview of the week with Andy Brody, CEO of Candaze Rosin Treats.

Candaze has become a HIT in the Colorado cannabis community & culinary scene as well. From their flavor combinations to the quality of their buzz, they're take the scene by storm. We sat down with the CEO to talk about their product, but also his story in the industry. From trimmer to top dog with a few teasers and tangents throughout... including what's coming down the pike in terms of LTO drops and flavors that make a grown man swoon.

Tune in if you're craving a quality buzz or conversation. This episode is loaded with both.
