It would be stupid to not recognize and discuss what is happening in the world right now. Restaurants are closing, people are dying, the corona virus has taken over the world and to be honest we weren't going to make anymore shows until an email came in from a listener quarantined in Italy who asked for more episodes, and so here we are. This weeks episode of Lets Talk About Chef is about MSG, and how one letter of disinformation almost brought the entire industry of Chinese food in North America to its knees. There is some swearing but honestly who really cares about swearing right now. Today Brian lost his job as a chef because the province of Ontario shut the doors on restaurants, and so with nothing to do for the next few weeks as we battle covid-19 he will be making podcasts for you to enjoy.We know how terrible and messed up this situation is and we hope that we can help by making shows for you to listen to, if anything we hope to make you smile. We want to read what's happening to you on the next episode so send your letters to letstalkaboutchef@gmail.com and Brian will read them.Stay safe, stay isolated if you can, we will get through this.
