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.
COOKBOOK GIVEAWAY UPDATE: The following persons have won a free cookbook:

Wow a long time
uh, yeah!
6 years for school! Thats awesome! I have done the same amount of schooling for culinary arts! It has been enjoyable following you on twitter.
“how many years did chef Gui spend at chef school?”
answer: 6 years + stages
I answered the question on twitter, hope that’s right !!
I’m married to a Frenchman so love the “francophone foodie” angle !
6 years. Thank you.
Always enjoy your tweets Chef Gui, and now it looks like I’ll be checking out your blog too.
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.
Chef Gui spent six years in chef school, and if it led to his creative Twitter comments and blog, I’m glad!
Six years (of bootcamp)!
Great interview! 6 years in chef school for the answer to the question.
6 Years
I hope this is the right place to enter ??
6 years! You started at age 16.
Congrats! That is an awesome gig!
Ca fait plaisir de voir que je suis pas le seul a parler Anglais avec l’accent Francais.
Super l’interview et puis bravo pour tout!
Thanks, Zenchef, it’s good to hear from you. Note that the accent is fake. I’m actually from Alabama.
Talk soon & see you on twitter.
