Episode Synopsis

Conner is one of the homies and we go way back.

In this episode, Conner talks about what it’s like being a line chef, experiences in different kitchens, and gives a shoutout to the mentors and role models in his life, including his dad and Chef T.
There’s a lot of tangents, from the grind of culinary school to different experimental recipes to dank smells in the kitchen. Both of us grew up in Richmond, BC, which is a foodie paradise, and we basically talked about our favourite restaurants in Richmond.
