Perhaps the best way to sum up this week's show is with some direct quotes: I think they were green beans. ... A fig leaf Negroni. My goodness! ...and You mock when you don't understand.  Then again, perhaps not.

The boys all shared interesting experiences this week: John got to be a restaurant kitchen insider...Quinno dressed like he was from Thailand...and Vincent put strawberries on a sandwich. Rookie mistake.

There were some interesting revelations in this week's show. John discussed planting seeds in the garden...Quinno talked about picking up medication...and Vincent explained his feelings about vegan croissants. He remained surprisingly calm.

The boys were joined in the studio by Twin Cities radio personality, food writer, and restaurant critic, Jason Derusha. Was it good to have a grown-up in the room? It most certainly was. This is tasty stuff.

Despite the fact that the boys had a long chat about retirement, this is still a food podcast. Vincent talked about hunter-style chicken...John talked about Texas beef brisket...and Quinno talked about a table-sized t-bone. Apologies to all vegans.

The boys shared some interesting eating and drinking experiences this week. Vincent had wonton ravioli in coconut broth...Quinno had a martini on the balcony...and John had curried chip pizza. Honestly, that sounds so wrong it must be right!

There was a variety of bad and good on this week's show. Vincent had some poor ceviche. That's bad. Quinno had some nice smoked salmon. That's good. John had kale salad with pot stickers. That's bad and good!

The LGF boys are back after spring break, and they were in fine form. Young Vincent almost signed up to be a paratrooper...John made an appearance at a Baptist church...and Quinno ate baked cod. Hey, it's a food podcast, after all!

Vincent’s been away in Florida, but he assures us it wasn’t at Mar a Lago. While he was away we dipped into the archives for a chat with Neil Ruane from the Boisset wine family. Neil’s English, but we got over it.

We learned some hards truths on this week's show: Vincent ate food with his fingers...John has a talent for poetry...and for Quinno, every table is a high top. Harsh, but fair. Oh, and you can now write to us at lgfpod.com. We'll keep an eye out.

In the week of St. Patrick's Day we learned that the wine business is becoming shady...chocolate mousse is a wonderful dessert...and Vincent's dog wants to be on the podcast. We'll wait to hear from his agent.

Quinno was a bit under the weather, but Vincent and John picked up the slack and the revelations kept coming: We don't judge, we mock...Guinness should just make beer, not chocolate...and you heal by the venom of the snake. Nope, no idea.

This week's show was recorded a little earlier than usual, but the vibe (man!) was strong. Vincent worked nine days in a row. John ate red chili threads up north. And Quinno was being gently mocked. At least it was gently. Awww, nice.

John felt like Cosimodo. Quinno felt quite chuffed with himself. And Vincent felt like he needed to be the guardian of culinary traditions. Probably because he's French...and a chef."

If you'd like to hear three middle aged men completely lose it as they describe how to give your significant other a Valentine's Day "wow", then this is the show for you. It's about food, by the way. It really is. Honestly

With the boys all back in the studio, the anecdotes were flying! Vincent had steak frites in Puy-l'Évêque...Quinno had hand-cut fries in Texas...John saw duck fat spray in the local hardware store. Wait! What?

Vincent is back home in France at the moment, but the boys planned ahead and pre-recorded a show last week. And it's a good one, especially if you've ever wondered how to make perfect hot chocolate. Let's be honest, who hasn't?

What deeply personal food & drink secrets were revealed this week? Vincent loved his grandmother's soups. John had some disappointing halibut. Quinno doesn't like non-alcoholic tequila. We suspect he's not alone.

Scheduling conflicts kept Vincent, John, and Quinno apart this week. So, this is an ideal time to revisit their chat with Chef Matt Jensen from "La Ferme' in Alexandria when he was at 'Chloe by Vincent' as part of the guest chef series. Enjoy.

The boys kicked off 2024 with some classic LGF musings and observations: the kitchen is the island of misfit toys...you learn more from your mistakes...and lobsters don't have nipples. You might want to double check that one.

The boys said goodbye to 2023 by sharing some pearls of wisdom: don't let calendars dictate your life...plastic cutting boards will dull your knives...and just because we have the technology to make meal-flavored cocktails, it doesn't mean we should. Wise words indeed. Happy New Year!

Things we learned in the last show before Christmas: John is looking like Ernest Hemingway. Black garlic tastes almost like savory licorice. And just by saying you're French, they assume you can't be casual. Happy holidays!

The boys enjoyed their annual Christmas curry. Some restaurants make cassoulet the wrong way. And we learned the difference between a beignet and a donut. Thank goodness!

Vincent was shaking hands and kissing babies. John couldn't eat onions as a kid. And Quinno thought Clay Oven was a country star. Yet, it was still a good show!

This was a show about discovery. John discovered some perfect hash browns...we discovered that Quinno doesn't like a particular Thanksgiving tradition...and Vincent discovered that someone took a bottle of champagne from his fridge. During the show he discovered it was John.
