For our second episode, we promptly defy expectation and jump this audio-train right off its tracks. With which medium should we best be studying independent art? Would that be painting? Music? Film? Nope. We chose cooking.

Our two guests today are both culinary artists within the Okanagan Valley: one is a student, the other a self-taught master. Together, they make a sort of socially awkward but thoroughly amusing episode.

Liam McNulty is the head chef at Nk’Mip Cellars in Osoyoos, BC, providing amazing patio meals during the summer months. He has worked at several other winery restaurants, and such venues as BiBO in Nelson before settling in the desert.

Colton Vieau is a culinary student in Kelowna, BC by day, working at Earls by night. He’s like, 18.

One of the great advantages to having these supremely talented foodsmiths on our show was that they were able to advise us in our first great cookoff. With the guests serving as coaches, Moss and Taylor engaged in a ferocious test of creativity and skill.

Mistakes were made, wine was drunk, expired cheese was purchased, inappropriate flours were substituted for their superior counterparts, and in the end our gladiators presented their meals for the scrutiny of the professionals.

Both dishes are shown below, but to find out what’s in them and who won in the end, you’ll have to listen to the show!
