Who better to redefine 'pizza' than the very farmer who grows/raises the ingredients? In this episode Jonathan, Darren and William meet with Jim from Jackknife Pizza. Jim has embarked on a journey to challenge our view of pizza by throwing out the playbook and starting from scratch. From aging the Pizza dough, tossing out the standbys, to a complete bottom up revolution on traditional flavour combinations, Jim has tapped into his extensive farming knowledge to bring a completely new pizza offering to the table. And we're all better for it.

  In this episode we discuss how the ongoing pandemic and its related restrictions are affecting the food industry, from restaurants and providers, to our own kitchens.   It's not all doom and gloom, as we dig for some positive takes, and discuss ways we can all help keep the restaurant industry strong in this time of uncertainty.
