From French Kings To Wu-Tang (The Story Of Dijon)

Season 1 · Episode 72

Friday, September 10, 2021 • Duration 19:08

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

The Almost Forgotten And Slightly Horrible History Of Mac And Cheese

Season 1 · Episode 71

Friday, September 3, 2021 • Duration 22:27

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.

The Gin Craze

Season 1 · Episode 70

Friday, August 27, 2021 • Duration 19:32

This episode of Lets Talk About Chef is a little different in that it is not really about food or restaurants or chefs or reviewing aspects of Brians culinary life in any way shape or form. It is about the gin craze that almost destroyed London England in the 1700's.
The Gin Craze was a time when had of Londons population were fully addicted to chugging pints of essentially poison and if you didn't die you were pretty much guaranteed to fight, pass out, steal, kill and sell everything you owned to get more of the stuff.
