b'Before we celebrate the dog days of summer over the September long weekend, co-hosts Emma Waverman and Phil Wilson talk about the Ontario government\\u2019s \\u201cbuck a beer\\u201d campaign while rolling their eyes and also debate the Air Canada enRoute Canada\\u2019s Best New Restaurants 2018 list of nominees.

Do restaurant lists frustrate a lot of people? Well, we know the answer to this one, at least!

From there, Waverman shares her experience on visiting a place called The New Farm where she spent time on a Community Food Centres Canada retreat with a variety of chefs from across the country including Winnipeg chef and local food advocate, Ben Kramer, Renee Lavallee of The Canteen in Dartmouth, Top Chef Canada: All Stars winner Nicole Gomes and Canadian-born, but American-based celebrity chef, Hugh Acheson.

Here, Waverman saw different conversations unfold about food systems that effect people of all walks of life and socioeconomic statuses and the ways members of the culinary industry can work together to improve them.

She also gets a candid interview with Acheson about his initiative Seed Life Skills, which aims to revitalize home economics in the United States and how production on Iron Chef Canada has been going so far. He\\u2019s fairly tight-lipped about the latter.'
