  • FREEZE!!!!!!
    Mar 5 2022

    This week on LTAC we are diving into the history of frozen food. Freezers are frankly magical things, and today we talk about the story of how locals freezing food in northern Canada and Northern China resulted in us being able to pull anything out of our freezers at any time and eat them like they were picked from the ground only moments before.

  • The Man, The Can, The Legend
    Feb 5 2022

    This week we are talking about Chef Boyardee, yeah that's right, chef freaking Boyardee. Because his life was pretty cool and frankly Tim has wanted this episode since the podcast began. 

    DISCLAIMER: There is historical audio used of a newsreel in this episode that uses a derogatory word several times when describing the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour. If this offends you we are sorry, history can be messy sometimes

  • From French Kings To Wu-Tang (The Story Of Dijon)
    Sep 10 2021

    This episode of Lets Talk About Chef is all about the history and story of how a single condiment went from being invented for a French king to being rapped out constantly in hip hop. The story of Grey Poupon is fascinating so strap in 

    Also there is a lot of swear words in this episode so we apologize if that offends you.

  • The Almost Forgotten And Slightly Horrible History Of Mac And Cheese
    Sep 3 2021

    This episode of Lets Talk About Chef is all about the slightly horrible history of Mac and cheese, and also how Canada has made Kraft dinner its national food. 

    We are very aware of the fact the we have talked about Mac and cheese before but quite frankly this is a free show and we thought that telling the real facts about how Thomas Jefferson took credit for a dish that his enslaved chef James Hemmings made for him is worth talking about.
