    Episode #118: Kyle Marcoux (Vulgar Chef) & Bobby Manere Jr.

    Kyle Marcoux, known as THE VULGAR CHEF on Instagram is a creative foodie, who for many years has either delighted or outraged the foodie community with his eye popping recipes and combinations of different foods. Kyle was also one of the original guitarists for the popular metal band Within The Ruins. You’ve probably seen his reels while scrolling on your phone, and with 320k followers and counting, Kyle has worked with industry giants such as Liquid Death & DudeWipes.  Bobby Manere Jr. is the founder and owner of DOGTOWN a hot dog and burger joint located in Milford, CT since 2017.  The name Dogtown pays homage to Southern California’s 60’s and 70’s culture and music.  A play on words that embodies the laid back vibe of LA’s culture with an East Coast attitude and edge. If the last name Manere sounds familiar it’s because his father owned and operated Swanky Franks a legendary hotdog stand in Norwalk. With an emphasis on hotdogs, Dogtown captures the food and lifestyle of Southern California with a classic New England twist.

    Episode #115 with Jonathan Mendonca

    Fellow Brookfield resident Jonathan Mendonca is the author of the best selling book, “Life on Life’s Terms” which is a fascinating and inspiring true story from 10 years of opiate addiction to 4 years of sobriety, and all the lessons learned along the way. Life on Life’s Terms is a success story of self growth and realization through the eyes of an addict. In his book, Jon takes you through the trails of his youth that played a part into his eventual decade long battle with opiates and alcohol. Jon masterfully details what finally led him to throwing up the white flag in his addiction, his numerous attempts at finding sobriety and how he continues to stay sober through the hardships of life. After spending years leading a life filled with lies, anger and dependence on substances, Jon now spends his time helping addicts and non addicts alike lead a better life. As Jon says: “This book is for anyone who wants to turn it around. It’s never too late.” Episode Sponsors: The Amber Room Colonnade ⁠https://www.theamberroom.net/⁠ Uncle Matts Bakery and Cafe ⁠⁠⁠ https://unclemattsbakeryandcafe.com/⁠⁠⁠ Around Town Real Estate ⁠⁠⁠ https://www.aroundtownrealestatect.com/⁠ Holmes Fine Gardens ⁠https://holmesfinegardens.com/⁠ Reverie Brewing Company ⁠https://www.reveriebrewing.com/⁠ Perfusion Bar ⁠https://www.perfusionbar.com/

    Episode #112 with Rob Haidar & Kyle Sorenson

    Kyle Sorenson and Rob Haidar, the founders of UMEBROSHI who have been in the food industry for some time and with knowledge of different cultures and palettes, created a realm to create food without the stereotypical toxicity within kitchens. As they say, they just wanted to have fun making food without all the b******t, not looking to make their way up the social ladder or win awards. They just want to make food from scratch that people can enjoy. Consider them the the anti heroes. The super villains. Serving corndogs on fine china. Kyle & Rob are two incredible human beings. Lots of laughs were had and I know you are really going to enjoy this one.
