Beyond the stories, I try to bring you practical information – everything from great spots to dine, to how you can be a better cook at home, to what we can all do as guests (never mind what the restaurants are doing) to improve our own dining experiences.

On today’s show, Sonja shares some of her top food picks in Las Vegas, including some neighbourhoods you may not have explored yet plus Sonja’s number one, first-choice Korean restaurant in the city!

Southern Nevada, on a beautiful back deck in beautiful Boulder City, for my latest talk with the Camper Chef himself, Bart Cops.

I also look ahead to some exciting upcoming interviews, and in particular to a few involving food writers.

Join me for a whirlwind weekend tour of Vegas!

Right now, though, satisfy your Vegas food cravings by joining me and Laura Tucker for Episode 025 of the Cheftimony Podcast!

I look forward to reading my first copy of a new anonymously-published ‘zine on the kitchen scene in Vancouver and to an interview with the proprietors of a small business 

Jesse is a talented, thoughtful and creative chef. He’s also a champion of reducing waste and making use of every last bit of a product.

Also on the show, I rhapsodize about the final meal my wife and I had on our recent trip to New York.

My wife and I are in New York for the second phase of our honeymoon, and we stumbled upon Caprices by Sophie as we were walking to lunch at Dziupla, a Polish place with fantastic pierogies.

Can sommeliers really enjoy a $10 bottle of pizza wine?

I’m delighted to report that I’ve made an appearance on a genuine Las Vegas podcast!

A fantastic culinary contributions from Emelle’s Catering, Curious Oyster, Persephone Brewing, Bricker’s Cider, and the Okanagan wineries Blue Mountain and Lock & Worth.

See you next Friday

Today’s quick episode includes snippets from two really fun upcoming interviews but also lets you know that I’m taking a wee break next week for… my wedding!

Looking ahead to a full show featuring an interview with my new friend Julian, an incredibly kind, Vegas-loving, podcast-hosting chef.

I’m joined by Chef Aaron Hale of E.O.D. Fudge.

...recently I connected with the host of a great Vegas-themed podcast, Faces and Aces.

On today’s snack-sized episode, I’m sharing four food writers with you. Two are old (dead, in fact) and two are young.

I touch quickly on a great event I attended recently, “Bubbles and Buns”, put on by my friends Neil Hillbrandt and Greg Sugiyama of Room Service YVR.
