Allan and Chael present a set multi-course menu where each course is a food memory from their childhood. Not complete dishes, just the memories.
Let us know if this episode deserves a sequel where we flesh the memories out into actual ideas for dishes.
First Crack at show notes. Don’t get mad if they don’t work ;)
The history of Canada’s food guide.
https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/canada-food-guide/about/history-food-guide.html#a1977
Allan and Chael use their imaginations to cobble together an onslaught of stolen dishes into culinary journeys.
Allan and Chael spill their guts about where they steal all of their great food ideas from.
Allan and Chael play over/under-rated with fancy ingredients, techniques and food experiences. Maybe next time they'll rate something useful, like a burger.
Chael and Allan go in with the plan of talking about Chef and Big Night, but only really get to talking about Chef.
Chael calls out recipes and Allan calls out Chael in this action packed episode. Also, is Chael just way smarter than Hervé This?
Allan and Chael pick apart common cooking myths, as well as each others techniques and food knowledge.
Allan and Chael discuss a couple of Edmonton restaurants and the hard to articulate magic that can make you fall in love with a hidden gem.
We try to talk about our guilty pleasures but wind up analyzing our guilt psychology. Then we give big ups to microwave ovens and all of their great uses, sans guilt.
Allan and Chael talk about their favourite food movies, and barely scratch the surface of guilty pleasures.
Chael catches Allan off guard. Allan and Chael challenge each other to an imaginary cook-off. More gripping tangents.
Writers block, menu ruts, brainstorming, artistic process, Is this really all a part of cooking? Also Chael asks Allan how he deals with cooking for his children.
Are Allan and Chael food snobs? Are all chefs food snobs? We get to the bottom of it. Our hosts also discuss little black "recipe" books and the secrets they contain.
