    Liz Mok

    At the end of my street a little Ice Cream place opened called Moo Shoo. I didn't know anything about who owned it or what the story behind all the cool flavours where, but I did know that my daughter was obsessed and so was the whole neighbourhood. The lines wrapped around the building every summer night. The more I learned about Liz the more I liked her. The product is good, but she also asked a lot of big questions about what it means to own a business and have a staff at this moment in time. Having these conversations in public will make the city a better place to work and to own a business. I hope you enjoy!

    Lewis Robinson

    Chef Lewis has just opened Le Petite Primrose in Gatineau. The road that lead him there took him through some of the best kitchens in the world, and he is excited to share what he learned with all of us. I think you will enjoy our conversation as much as I did.

    Lizardo Becerra

    Chef Lizardo is doing some incredible things at Raphaël. His Peruvian cuisine is as elevated as anything you will find in Ottawa but none of that execution comes at the expense of tradition or flavour. He pulls this off thanks to one of the most impressive CV's Ottawa has ever seen. Working at some of the finest restaurants in the world Chef Lizardo has learned how to express himself and his culture through food. It was an absolute pleasure to steal an hour of his time and I know you will enjoy it too.

    Tracy Turnbull

    Tracy Turnbull gave Ottawa Trio and The Moonroom. She is now hanging up the cocktail shakers and I speak with her about what her next steps are going to be. I also try (unsuccessfully) to get her to acknowledge how big of an impact she had on Ottawa's cocktail culture.

    Torta Boyz

    Today I am joined by two young guys making waves in the Ottawa's culinary scene. The Torta Boyz have carved out a space with big flavours and an infectious energy. They have added a something to the local scene that we often associate with bigger "cooler" cities. If the Ottawa culinary scene is on the way up it's because of places like this.
