Tim and Dan are back with another amazing guest, local restaurateur, Yvonne Farina!
She's a veteran of the Chicago restaurant scene, a certified sommelier, and the proprietor of Farina's Supper Club in Michigan City, Indiana (with her husband, the renowned Chef Joe Farina).
Listen in to this great conversation about quality cocktails and cuisine, including tips on how to make (and shake) the perfect martini. Yvonne shares stories and insights from over 20 years in the restaurant business, and tells us all about Café Farina, a more casual, tavern-style version of Farina's Supper Club, opening soon at 825 Franklin Street, downtown.
Buon appetito!

Get insider tips on making your own cookies, pies, cakes, & chocolate goodies, find out the answers to contemplative confectionary questions ("what does love have to do with it?!"), and enjoy a big slice of that witty Tim Talks! repartee -- light, rich, and uplifting as mousse, marzipan, and meringue.
Brought back again by popular demand, it's Jeff Alisch! This week, the subject is... tipping.
Join Tim, Jeff, and Dan as they boldly wade into this conversational cauldron of controversy, confusion, and courtesy. Who to tip? When to tip? How MUCH to tip? (Are there even rules anymore??!)
Here's a free tip: pour yourself a Timtini, listen in, and relax as we sort through it all and share some stories and laughs along the way.
As always, gratuities are welcome – in the form of your comments! Let us know what you think on Instagram (@timothyjeffrymc) and Facebook (TimothyJeffrySalon) 😊

So put on your tiara and gown, and enjoy the premiere Talks with Tim! podcast episode of 2023!
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year everyone!
What do you think about new years resolutions? Tim thinks it's time to redefine "resolutions" and focus only on "solutions" for 2023 -- so why not pregame New Years Eve celebrations with a Timtini and some witty banter, funny stories, and deep thoughts with Tim & Dan?!
We are so grateful for our audience, for all of our guests in 2022, and for all the amazing and wonderful things we have to look forward to in 2023!
Talk to you next year 😉🍾🥂🎉✨
This week, Tim & Dan put on their Santa hats and dive into full nostalgia mode with remembrances of Christmases past, as well as aspirations for the coming holidays.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

What do you get when Tim, Jeff, and Dan share their thoughts and stories about driving?
38 minutes of entertainment on this week's Talks with Tim!
That's right -- Jeff is back and this week the topic is driving cars and boats!
Join us for funny stories, deep psychological theories, and lots of pet peeves about how we get places, whether it's by road or waterway. If you're listening while behind the wheel, no Timtini's for you -- but if you just survived your commute home, or you're relaxing in the marina after the regatta, go ahead and have two!
It's Thanksgiving week, and like a lot of young folks this week's guest is home from college to reunite with family and friends.
Gage Huff is a freshman at Indiana University, Bloomington, and has lots to share from his perspective on the topic of the day: education.
So pour yourself a pumpkin spice Timtini and enjoy another great conversation!
This week, the long-awaited conversation with that shadowy, mysterious character sometimes seen around the Salon, Tim's own beloved partner in business and in life, the incomparable Jeff Alisch!
Listen as Tim, Jeff, and Dan talk about the topic of the week: routines!
What makes routines work? Why do they matter? And how can a bunch of newborn kittens in the property next door disrupt Jeff's routine for the day?
Settle into your podcast listening routine and enjoy hearing the answers to these and other great questions!
This week we are talking all about pets! So for you dog and cat (and tortoise and hermit crab etc.) lovers out there, get ready to enjoy some funny stories, happy memories, and Timtini's with Tim & Dan.
Share your favorite thoughts, pics, and recollections about whatever non-humans you love to snuggle with on Instagram (@timothyjeffrymc) and Facebook (TimothyJeffrySalon)!
To celebrate Halloween, this week's episode is all about one of Tim's greatest fears: no, not vampires, ghosts, or goblins, but (wait for it)... commercial airline travel!
Join in as Tim and Dan get this episode off the ground with flight attendant extraordinaire Donna Finley for a first class chat about things that go "bump" on the plane, and so much more.
It's a great conversation with more hilarity than horror, but if you're someone who panics when the seatbelt sign lights up, just hold hands with the person in the seat next to you and take a sip of your oh-so-calming Timtini, because we are cleared for "talk"-off!
Join Tim and Dan with their friend and guest Lisa Murray, owner and worker at the fabulous Dunebillies Beach Cafe right here in Michigan City! The conversation is as satisfying as the warm comfort food and cozy home-like ambiance of this "hidden gem" nestled among the dunes.
