Description

This week, Top Chef Canada contestant and Food and Drink Ambassador of Norfolk County Jason Mayo joins Drew for a deep dive into what makes Norfolk County so special — the pride, the people, and the local traditions that keep small-town culture alive.

We talk about:

  • ​🎡 The wild energy of Young Canada Day and why the community fought to keep it alive
  • ​👕 The connection between local pride and The Folk brand
  • ​🍽️ Why atmosphere and service matter more than food when it comes to great restaurants
  • ​🌾 The beauty of true farm-to-table living in rural Ontario
  • ​💬 The fine line between growth and keeping Norfolk’s soul intact

Jason’s passion for this county runs deep — from his stories about teaching and food to his love of community events that bring people together. It’s real, it’s local, and it’s very Folk.
