    EP 345 | George Siu Memphis Blues BBQ House
    2025/04/08
    George Siu is a pal and the co-founder of Memphis Blues BBQ House. They now have 6 locations. 3 in Vancouver and 3 in Alberta. They serve top-of-the-line BBQ...beautifully cooked. George and Park Hefflefinger started the first location after heading to Memphis and spending much time studying the process and tricks of the trade. The Memphis style is to slow cook in a pit. Either dry or wet ribs. Dry has a rub with salt, spices before cooking - no sauce. Wet are brushed with sauce before during and after cooking. I had a number of things I wanted to ask George... Has any of the Buy Canada affected your business? - It is called Memphis Blues after all. You have a wall of American bourbon. What's happened to it? Have you made any moves to serve Canadian craft distilleries? Beer, Cider? Are the tariffs having an effect? How different are the wine and drink choices between BC and Alberta? What pairs well with smoky BBQ? It's not just a Q&A session. With George Siu it's always a trading of stories. Some are actually true. www.memphisbluesbbq.com

  • EP 343 | Mulligan Stew Podcast March 22 - 2025 Vancouver Wine Festival. The Highlights.

    EP 343 | Mulligan Stew Podcast March 22 - 2025 Vancouver Wine Festival. The Highlights.
    2025/03/22
    We started this podcast well over 300 episodes ago. When we started the title was Mulligan Stew Podcast (Music. Film. Food. Wine) Over the months the Pod became more music and film than anything else. Just the way the road leads us. Tasting Room Radio has worked its way back into the mix because of critical dynamics taking place. Cold damaged vineyards, An agreement between BC Wine Growers and the BC Government to allow the 2024 wines to be grown and harvested in Washinton, Oregon and California. BC wine battles with political neighbours in Alberta, Tariffs from the USA and more. All of these subjects were discussed over and over again by the wine trade and fans in attendance. Tasting Room Radio set up the same home base they always have. Up to 6 chairs in a circle on the convention centre floor ..leaving room for the invited and the walk-ins. We couldn't fit everyone in, so we decided to build the show around the most interesting storylines and storytellers. With apologies to those we couldn't fit in, the podcast guests are Co-Hosts - Jenna Brisco, Maude Renaud-Brisson & Kelcie Jones. Educators and Somms at This is Wine School. Richard Kanazawa - winemaker at Bench 1775 (Naramata) Tracey Horneman - winemaker at Blue Grouse (Cowichan) Kailee Frasch - Winemaker Quails Gate (West Kelowna) Harry Hertscheg - Executive Director Van Wine Fest Evan Goldstein - Master Sommelier (SF) Tony Holler - Owner Poplar Grove (Naramata) Wine School Team Taylor Butterfield - White Wine Winemaker Chateau Ste.

  • Sugarcane: Stunning documentary into Indian Residential Schools in B.C.

    Sugarcane: Stunning documentary into Indian Residential Schools in B.C.
    2025/03/01
    In 2021, evidence of unmarked graves near an Indian residential school run by the Catholic Church in Kamloops. BC, Canada sparked a national outcry about the forced separation, assimilation, and abuse many children experienced at this network of segregated boarding schools designed to slowly destroy the culture and social fabric of Indigenous communities. When Emily- a journalist and filmmaker- asked her old friend and colleague, Julian, to direct a film documenting the Williams Lake First Nation investigation of St Joseph's Mission, she never imagined just how close this story was to his own family. As the investigation continued, Emily and Julian traveled back to the rivers, forests and mountains of his homelands to hear the myriad stories of survivors. During production, Julian's own story became an integral part of this beautiful multi-stranded portrait of a community. By offering space, time, and profound empathy the directors unearthed what was hidden. Emily and Julian encountered both the extraordinary pain these individuals had to suppress as a tool for survival and the unique beauty of a group of people finding the strength to persevere. The film is nominated for an Academy Award. It has already won two Critics Choice Awards. Julian Brave NoiseCat - Director Julian is a writer, filmmaker and student of Salish art and history. His first documentary, SUGARCANE, directed alongside Emily Kassie, follows an investigation into abuse and missing children at the Indian residential school NoiseCat's family was sent to near Williams Lake, British Columbia. A proud member of the Canim Lake Band Tsq'escen and descendant of the Lil'wat Nation of Mount Currie, he is concurrently finishing his first book, We Survived the Night, which will be published by Alfred A. Knopf in North America. EMILY KASSIE

  • EP 339 | The Stew Welcomes back Colin James

    EP 339 | The Stew Welcomes back Colin James
    2025/02/23

    One of the true pleasures of a lifetime in music and broadcasting is connecting with artists at the very beginning of their careers.

    If the connection is a strong friendship, emotionally you get to go along for the ride.

    On the downside, you must be prepared to lose those friends along the way through attrition, lifestyle and medical issues.

    I’m pleased to say Colin James has given all of us a great ride.

    8 Junos, 31 Maple Blues Awards, Induction into the Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame, Order of BC and turning 60 years old with 21 studio albums under his belt.

    Colin has played his way through an amazing collection of audiences. Starting with Stevie Ray style Texas blues, then blues rock, big band swing, roots, Americana and all the way back to blues.

    What a Ride!!

    Following a stellar concert at Massey Hall, Colin is on a Canadian tour now and he’s heading our way. With the wonderful Terra Lightfoot!

    Feb 26 -Grey Eagle Calgary

    Feb 27 – N Jubilee Edmonton

    March 1 – Orpheum Vancouver

    March 3 – Royal Theatre Victoria

    March 4 & 5 – Port Theatre Nanaimo

    Colin is a master storyteller.

    This time he has tales of recovering from a road accident on his scooter in the USA. Damage to his foot and fret hand slowed him down considerably. He has stories of becoming what he dreamed of as an 8-year-old and the biography he’s almost finished writing.

    The complete interview can be heard on the Mulligan Stew Podcast and the terrydavidmulligan YouTube Channel.
