Cheftimony – Details, episodes & analysis

As you may recall from Episode 075, I’m not visiting the United States right now, which means I’m not visiting my favourite city in the world to visit, Las Vegas, Nevada.

But in very good news, my friend Tania Tomaszewska recently did. And on the show today, Tania and I dive into some of the many tasty sips and bites she enjoyed, particularly in the remarkable Arts District of Las Vegas.

When we wrap up Las Vegas, Tania and I head to northern Spain for a quick re-cap of my October trip to the delightful and delicious Zarautz.

While I’m missing Las Vegas terribly, re-living some of the tastes from Spain definitely helped to ease the pain. Join us for the chat!

If you’re going to stare out over the ocean beyond the horizon and into the infinite, you’re well advised to have a great cup of coffee while you do it.

And there is a place for coffee unlike any you’ve ever been to, unless you’re lucky enough to have been to Haida Gwaii. And to Jags.

At the end of June, I sat down after-hours with family team members Khataya and with Jags himself (the shop’s namesake and Khataya’s father), to learn just how their family created this wonderfully special place.

Join us for a talk that starts in the shop pouring coffee and baking scones, but quickly winds down logging roads, hikes a trail, and flies to Vancouver for a coffee expo. We also take the scenic route through a business-funding story that is the closest I’ve come in real life to Willy Wonka’s golden tickets!

Haida Gwaii is a special place. Jags is a fantastic spot for coffee and food and conversation. Episode 077 gives you a glimpse.

Today’s snack-sized episode answers a seemingly simple question: “Just what goes into making a great burger?” My guest is Chef Robert Belcham who shares the goods on his iconic Dirty Burger. Detailed show notes are at the Cheftimony website.

Join me and my friends Keren and Michael for a behind-the-scenes discussion as we plan two beautiful menus for an extravagant dinner for twenty in fabulous Las Vegas. Detailed show notes are at the Cheftimony website.

The second and final part of Episode 069 is here! Keren and I complete our talk about fantastic Vegas restaurants - past and present - and we welcome two new Vegas-based guests to share their thoughts too. Detailed show notes are at the Cheftimony website.

Here is the first installment of a two-part season-ending episode, all about great restaurants in Las Vegas – past and present. My co-host is Keren from the 360 Vegas Podcast, and together we welcome Las Vegas food enthusiasts to discuss the great restaurants we’ve lost and the ones we should visit now. Detailed show notes are at the Cheftimony website.

Here’s a quick update from Las Vegas, with a focus on fabulous food from a middle-of-the-night steak dinner to amazing brunches on-Strip and off. Detailed show notes are at the Cheftimony website.

Today is a snapshot of food, friends and fun on the garden island. Order the Ahi Au Poivre! Detailed show notes are at the Cheftimony website.

Today I sit down with Chef Hilary Prince and Chef Jack Chen to talk everything from the business realities of running a restaurant to the importance of taking your staff to the farm to a story so hilariously tragic - or tragically hilarious - that it is literally A Knife to the Tart. Detailed show notes are at the Cheftimony website.

Join me on Sardinia and meet three characters who have left lives of stress behind and chosen to “downshift” on this idyllic island. We’ll dive into pasta making, pizza, gelato, coffee, and the wonderful Sardinian pasta, culurgiones. Detailed notes are at the Cheftimony website.
