Chef Jonathan Frazier and Darren Howlett are back this week  to reflect on the last few shows and catch up, as they have actually not seen each other in a month. They also look forward to the next few weeks and months, and talk what's coming up (or not coming up) in the next while for food in the Valley. 

Today's episode we get to sit down with Cat Leduc and Jake Tinkler-Josephi. It's great when we get to chat with friends from our daily routine about the Valley, food, and everything in between. We asked them to come on to the show as guests to talk about their newest venture: Toscano's Trattoria! At the time of taping, we weren't able to discuss the name of the venture, which made for some difficult conversational maneuvering, but we were able to cut to the details of becoming a restaurateur. It was refreshing to be able to talk to people just getting into the restaurant business. Their nervous energy and obvious excitement are infectious, and it's hard to not get swept up in it. We are so happy for them and proud that they are able to start living their dreams in food and in the Valley! Toscano's Trattoria Open: Dinner Daily, 5-9, Closed Sundays & Holiday Web: http://www.toscanos.ca Phone:1 (250) 890.7575, Address140 Port Augusta, Comox, BC, V9M 0A1, Canada
