Food & wine podcast with Creative Loafing Brian Ries and Taylor Eason

Today, I got invited by Creative Loafing fun and dynamic food crew to record a podcast: Food critic extraordinaire (and tough!) Brian Ries and wine expert and francophone foodie Taylor Eason.

I got to the Creative Loafing’s warehouse/office/recording studio early and chit-chated with Brian Ries, whom I didn’t know personally. It was fun to meet him face to face, since of course, being a food critic, he is mostly incognito on the Tampa Bay restaurant scene.

We waited for Taylor Eason, who was late, and went into the studio. It was a fun discussion about food & wine. Here is the whole discussion, which lasts only 20 minutes. Download it and post a comment to tell us what you think.

The first 5 persons to listen to the podcast, answer the question “how many years did chef Gui spend at chef school?” and post a comment below win a FREE COOKBOOK.

    Always enjoy your tweets Chef Gui, and now it looks like I’ll be checking out your blog too. :)

  9. It was difficult to, how do you say, understand, because of the accent, but it seems to be six years that you were in training. From the foods I have tasted, you learned quite well.

      Thanks, Zenchef, it’s good to hear from you. Note that the accent is fake. I’m actually from Alabama.
