Wait! What? Say it ain't so! The show opens with the bombshell that this is the last episode of Le Grand Fromage for the foreseeable future. Noooooo! Why? Who's to blame? What's next? And what does Vincent really have against Veuve Clicquot? This is your last chance to find out!
In recognition of his recent James Beard award, we want to again play the recent episode where we had a great chat with Chef Abe from Hyacinth Restaurant in St Paul. Enjoy!
Vincent was home from his Moroccan adventure armed with tales to tell, opinions to offer, and wisdom to impart. Cosgrove and Quinno was happy to bask in the post-Marrakesh glow.
Vincent is in Morocco, but before he left, the boys recorded a special interview with chef/owner Abraham Gessesse from Hyacinth restaurant in St. Paul. Great restaurant, cool guy, fun interview. That’ll work!
Memorable quotes from this week's show. John: 'You might win some bubble bath and a six-pack.' Quinno: 'What goes in must come out at some point.' Vincent: 'At 14 you get to ride a muppet.' At least, we think that's what he said.
The boys dropped some major bombshells as they ushered in the new year. John is done with Irish tea. Quinno bought an air fryer. To be honest, Vincent claimed he didn't have a bombshell to drop, but no one believed him. All the more reason to keep listening in 2025, really. Sorted.
In the official pre-Christmas episode, the boys all told their favorite tales of Christmases past from different parts of the world. It was proper festive stuff. Well, let's be honest, egg nog makes everything more festive.
This show was a 2nd birthday celebration for Chloe by Vincent! In other news, Vincent went to see Wicked. John went to La Ferme in Alexandria. And Quinno made the boys eat Vegemite and Marmite. It did not go well
On a chilly night, Vincent reinvents a French classic with his Chicken, Coconut Milk & Mushroom delight—perfect for a cozy winter dinner!The gang takes on peanut butter—store-bought vs. organic—and debates if the price difference is worth it.In One for the Ditch: A sip of Castle Danger’s West Coast IPA leads to a lively chat on its layers of zest, zing, and complexity.Plus, in a clash of Holiday traditions, John is dodging Christmas music, while Vincent blasts carols on the school run.And if anyone can help Vincent’s mango issues, please do!
The big news coming out of this week's show is that there's a 'Vincent, a Restaurant' pop-up coming! Also, John got to sample some top-shelf crab legs, and Quinno doesn't understand the need for an Apple Pie cocktail. Does anyone?
It was a very revealing Thanksgiving show as the boys each announced what they'd choose for their final drink. Vincent: vintage champagne and/or cognac. John: a pint of Guinness and/or 12-year-old Redbreast whiskey. Quinno: a Pilsner Urquell and fine añejo tequila. No 'or' required.
In this week’s gem of a show, Vincent revealed a tasty recipe for prawns saganaki…John made some truly spectacular curry sauce…and Quinno was excited to hear the word Gewurtztraminer. Clearly, he doesn’t get out much.
The boys all had interesting weeks. Vincent had a week that involved eating, drinking, and watching rugby. Quinno had a week that involved eating, drinking, and watching rugby. John had a week that would inspire anyone to stay alive. Same as Vincent and Quinno's, really.
Things we learned in the first post-election show: The sun will come up tomorrow...John and Quinno have never heard of roasted grapes...standing in line is sometimes worth it...and there's a new menu at 'Chloe by Vincent.' All in all, it was a very informative show!
The boys addressed some important issues this week. No, really! You get what you pay for with truffle oil. Shrinkflation is real and it's sneaky. And there's a place in the kitchen for non-stick pans. Like we said, important issues
It was quite a revealing show this week. Quinno revealed that he got 'pismoed' in Portugal...John revealed that he's still getting used to peanut butter...and Vincent revealed that he is stressed when he eats at his own restaurants. His marketing manager was unavailable for comment.
The boys managed to find some common ground on this week's show. They all like the North Shore, Irish butter, and picnics. And they all dislike Conor McGregor. Just don't tell him. Please.
The boys each took an important stand this week. Quinno won't be putting any condiments on his oysters. Vincent won't be putting any bread in his fridge. And John won't be putting any cars in his new garage. Fair enough.
It was quite a philosophical show this week. The boys had thoughtful opinions on religion, sarcasm, candles, fundraising, and ranch dressing. It's a food podcast, after all.
This week, the usually positive boys revealed some things they DON'T like. John doesn't like pizza. Quinno doesn't like hazy beer. And Vincent REALLY doesn't like snacking! Don't bring it up. Just don't.
