On this week's restaurant review, Ray talks about one of his favorite chef restaurant combo's, chef Joshua Skenes & Saison. Ray talks about how owner chef Joshua Skenes gave up martial arts for cooking, bet on himself with a pop up before pop ups were trendy, built a 3 Michelin starred restaurant, created and expanded his more casual concept Angler, his experience at Saison, and gives some highlights from the tasting menu.

After the highly anticipated launch of Angler in Los Angeles, Dave sits down with its chef and founder, Joshua Skenes, to assess for themselves the second outpost of the Michelin-starred seafood restaurant.

Saison chef Joshua Skenes didn’t become one of the greatest chefs in the world by reading a textbook or by chasing accolades. All that mattered was the food.

***WARNING: STRONG AND EXPLICIT LANGUAGE IS USED ON THIS SHOW*** On this episode, we feature a group discussion with nine guys, all of whom were at WSF’s Sheep Show last week. We recorded this episode in one of our hotel rooms just before attending the Grand Finale Banquet so, the audio quality is not as high as we would normally produce, but given the size of the group and the microphone system required it’s the best we could do. It's not bad, but it's not up to our usual standard. In addition, this podcast contains some strong and explicit language, so if you often listen to podcasts in the vehicle with your kids, this is not one to do so with. We do apologize if anyone takes offense to the language used, but the topics covered are ones we are all, very obviously, passionate about. At least in some circles (like ours), when you get a group of guys together that feel strongly about a given subject, the language is going to get a little colorful at times. That said, the topics covered are very interesting given the very eclectic group of guys huddled around the microphone. The group includes a mix of people from all over Canada and the US, some with lots of hunting experience, others with minimal hunting experience and each with different connections to hunting. We dive into all that and more. What does hunting mean to us on an individual level? How does the act of killing an animal actually feel? How does both the hunting and non-hunting community communicate the reasons we hunt? How do the complexities of conservation fit into the modern media landscape? It's a wide-ranging conversation, but one that is quite interesting given the people involved. On that note specifically, the guys present are: Joshua Skenes, a relatively new hunter and world-renowned chef that owns one of the Top 50 restaurants in the world. Matt Martinez, a long-time hunter and modern renaissance man with experience and success in the business, art and photography world. Mike Pedersen and Kelly Molnar from The Rookie Hunter Podcast. Nolan Osborne, mountain hunting guide, JOMH Assistant Editor and our staff millennial. Peter Gutsche, a BC resident who’s been hunting his entire life that’s deeply passionate about mountain hunting and conservation. Matt Comment, past guest, East Coaster, experienced mountain hunter and passionate conservationist. Connor Gabbott, past guest, chef, photographer and dedicated mountain hunter.

Hey gang! First the news: meat consumption estimates & veggie meal trends in 2018 (0:51), sexual harassment claims against Charlie Hallowell & Time's Up (3:32), chocolate's extinction?! (6:27), & French hogs disrupting Muenster cheese production (7:17). Next, 10 ?'s for Aussie chef Paul "Yoda" Iskov (10:47) about his pop-up Fervor, his impressive resume, native ingredients, his pal Action Bronson, & more. For dessert, 3-star Michelin chef Joshua Skenes reads a scathing Yelp review of his own Saison (25:47).

Hey hey, it's Food Republic Today! On this episode, we discuss today's top stories, including the sexual misconduct allegations again Andre Balazs (0:27), the PNW protests about farmed Atlantic salmon (4:02), & Jose Andres announcing that he & his team will be feeding the people of PR through Christmas (6:34). After that, we talk Michelin stars, martial arts, pop-ups, pricing, & recalibrating taste buds with Saison chef Joshua Skenes (7:50) & wrap up with bad reviews of good restaurants from Yelp (25:53).

"The answer is either yes or no. If it's 'no,' then I have to start over." - Joshua Skenes Joshua Skenes (IG: @jskenes) has become famous for his use of fire. As chef-owner of Saison in San Francisco (three Michelin stars), he has classical training and loves his high-end Japanese Nenohi knives, but nothing captures his imagination quite like the open flame. The back of his business card sports three words, stark on ivory stock: Play with fire. In this episode, we explore his obsessions: simplicity, food, and martial arts. We became friends during the collaboration of The 4-Hour Chef, and this was a long overdue catch-up. Enjoy!
