Show Notes

Tanner and Jerry turn up the heat in this episode all about cooking with fire. With Tanner’s new live-fire restaurant as the spark, they explore how open flames have become one of the hottest trends in modern dining—and how you can bring that same energy home. From choosing the right wood to adding smoke to your cocktails, and even clever tips for apartment cooks, it’s all about mastering the flame. Then, the fire of competition takes center stage as MasterChef Canada winner and host Mary Berg joins the show to talk creativity, pressure, and what it takes to keep your passion burning.

For Talk Like a Pirate Day, Tanner and Jerry dig into the surprisingly strange food and drink history of life at sea. We start with what pirates actually ate, why their diet could sometimes give them an advantage over the Navy, and how scurvy became one of the biggest threats aboard ship. That includes James Lind’s famous experiment testing cures ranging from cider and vinegar to seawater, citrus, and a truly questionable garlic-and-mustard concoction.
