Explore every episode of the podcast Food Scene

The food influencer used to be a hobby. Now it's a profession, a platform and a point of view. In Episode 2 of Food Scene, hosts Yann de la Chanonie and David Rousseau sit down with Ryan Massel — known to most as Mr. Fabulous — and Chanry Thach, two of Calgary's most followed food voices, for a candid conversation about what it really means to witness the way a city eats. They get into the evolution of the influencer role, the state of Calgary's food scene and where it's headed, the perceived value of a meal — and they name plenty of restaurants worth your time. Pull up a chair.

In the first episode of Food Scene, hosts Yann de la Chanonie and David Rousseau sit down with Connie DaSousa and John Jackson, two of the city's most celebrated chefs, to talk about the choice that defined their careers: walking away from opportunities in the United States to build something meaningful at home. They get into the culture shift happening in professional kitchens around health and sustainability, the community they've built in Calgary, and why they believe this city belongs in the conversation about North America's top food destinations. Honest, warm and personal.
