Stoned Appetit

On today's episode presented by NOBO Dispensary & Meraki Cannabis, Kip is back from vacation & CB is semi-back from paternity leave. We sit down with Chef Darren Chang & Travis Maser, the two kickass Chefs behind the viral Denver restaurant Pig and Tiger. 

Chef Darren has been a supporter of ours for a long time and after 3 visits in the 3 months, we have become even bigger fans of his. This dynamic duo is creating gnarly flavors, epic spice levels & magazine cover photos out of their downtown Denver kitchen. We talk inspiration, their journey to opening & hardships of the industry in this day and age. 

In addition to that, we just goof off for 20-30 minutes, talking parental approval, horny cartoon characters and all sorts of comical conversations.

Tune in because we're back in action, with weekly episodes dropping from here until Christmas!

On this week's episode of Stoned Appetit presented by Meraki Cannabis, we recap the first week of the Munchie/March Madness. The upsets, the runaway victories and what we're seeing from early voters... then we address the unsubstantiated rumors swirling about the bracket.. fucking morons. 

The best part of the podcast this week is our sit down interview with Mark Turner. He's a Wyoming cowboy with a degree in architecture, an eye for photography & knack for quality whiskey. He's also the founder & proprietor of Lost Whiskey. We sat down with Mark while in Jackson WY for the Food & Wine Festival to talk not only about his upbringing & family lineage in the valley but also how he found himself creating topshelf hooch and the inspiration to continue on the path of trailblazing as his grandparents once did.

Tune in if you like shit talking, fire water or following along with the 2026 Munchie Madness bracket. There's something for everyone!

March Madness is up and running but we're still reeling from the week that was. We're recapping Kip's run through the Tetons for Jackson Hole Food & Wine and CB's West Coast Wine Tours... which lead into our guest of the week perfectly! Andy Peay from Peay Vineyards sits down to talk about how he and his brother created a brand being poured in restaurants across the country while creating an approachable wine for casuals and savants alike. That + we dive into "hospitality bug" and how some folks are born with it... I can vouch from spending a week with Andy, the man has IT.

Tune in to a great episode and stay on the lookout for more interviews and March Madness content coming down the pike!

We're launching an emergency podcast to talk about the Michelin Guide expanding their perimeters around the Colorado region. We are well known for hating on the Guide and their lazy judging and never showing their work....BUT they got this right with removing the pay for play for specific towns & cities. We talk briefly about who may be a viable candidate to bring home some hardware later this year.

Then we have a surprise guest join the pod! Megan Gallagher, Producer of the Jackson Hole Food & Wine festival hops on to talk about the upcoming festivites. With a quick flight & a la carte party options.. this seems like a perfect excuse to get out of town for a bit & enjoy some dank eats and fresh skiing terrain. 

Tune in for a double dipper this week, it is sure to bring the hammer and spill some tea!

On today's podcast, Kip sits down with 4 High Caliber Chefs from the Colorado community to talk about the state of the industry & community. With the federal government attacking citizens across the country, it's hit home in more ways than one for Johnny Curiel, Michael DeLeon, Raz Casiano & Manny Borella.

We talk about the social media post that called out their "lack of advocacy" for taking a different path than other hospitality professionals & businesses across the country. 

They're walking the walk way more than they're talking the talk. They're hosting a very large fundraiser in March and you can hear about the details on this here podcast. 

No animosity, just clearing the air about the post that pissed off a lot of people & business owners in the Colorado community. 

Our apologies about the random change in audio, we were hosting the round table with a Boom mic + 4 circling mic's as well.. but you can hear it all, just may have to toggle the audio here n there.
