There are certain people in this world that I could just listen to forever, they’re an absolute wealth of knowledge and experiences and my first guest of season 4, Arlene Stein, is one of those people. Arlene is the founder and executive director of the Terroir Symposium, a catalyst for creative collaboration and social and environmental responsibility in the hospitality industry. Since 2006, Terroir has convened international and Canadian industry leaders annually at a two-day symposium in Toronto – and since 2014 at off-shoot events across Europe and North America, for education, networking, and inspiration. From her current home base in Berlin, Arlene travels globally to research responsible food systems and gastronomic innovations. Arlene has that magical ability to build community and knowledge around food and root it to place, to land, to context in a way that is truly inspiring. But what makes her even more incredible is the ease that she brought to this conversation. At the core of what Arlene does is foster a sense of community for local and international networks that relate around food: she breaks down the silos for restauranteurs, chefs, artisans, producers, academics, and so many more through Terroir events and workshops to foster conversations and collaborations. In today’s episode we explore what exactly the word terroir means and how the role that gastrodiplomacy can play into food systems and futures. I’ve included the links to Terroir’s main website and for the Toronto symposium below, along with social media pages if you’d like to learn more about Terroir!

Last week was a busy one as co-hosts Emma Waverman and Phil Wilson attended two major culinary events (Toronto's Terroir Symposium and Cochon555 in Banff, respectively). Waverman dives into what makes Terroir unique, and Wilson talks about the surprising result of Cochon's first Canadian heritage pork competition. At the James Beard Media Awards in New York City last Friday night, Canadian filmmaker Kevin Kossowan was up for a prestigious award. His fellow nominee, Bon Appetit magazine's editor Adam Rapoport chats with Dan Clapson during the ceremony about what the Beards can mean for a first-time nominee like Kossowan.After the summaries of the glitzy events, Emma and Phil give us a full and candid rundown of Top Chef Canada episode four: Restaurant Wars. A few unexpected twists and turns in this episode leave us asking, "Why?" a few times too.
I talked with chef Hugh Acheson on his visit to Canada to present at this year's Terroir Symposium. His topic: representing Canada on the world stage. Well-known for his appearances on 'Top Chef', he has strong opinions on sexism in the food industry, on being Canadian and on teaching school children to cook.I talked with chef Hugh Acheson on his visit to Canada to present at this year's Terroir Symposium.

I spoke with Amanda Cohen, owner of hugely popular NYC vegetable restaurant Dirt Candy, at the 10th annual Terroir Symposium in Toronto. She explained her love of vegetables and her no-tipping policy.
10 years ago, the Terroir Symposium began as a way to bring Canada's hospitality industry together, through networking, education and collaboration. But over the past few years, the annual, one-day event in Toronto has welcomed presenters. On this week's show, Steve and Rick speak with Founder and Executive Director Arlene Stein. And if you happen to find yourself in Toronto, we thought, why not ask Chris Nuttall-Smith, Toronto Restaurant Critic and the National Food Writer for The Globe and Mail for some places to check out.
I chat with Francis Lam at the Terroir Symposium in Toronto about his childhood food memories, his appearances as a judge of TV food show ‘Top Chef Masters’ and his unusual, delicious rendition of ratatouille.
