This week, still buzzing from the season premiere of The Great Canadian Baking Show, co-hosts Emma Waverman and Phil Wilson sit down to discuss the show's ten bakers, how the series differs from most other culinary reality shows in Canada, as well as the show's standout star, Dan Levy. Who doesn't love a good conversation about Dan Levy?

From there, the pair talk about Prairie cuisine and the upcoming Prairie Grid Dinner Series, which kicks off this Thursday in Calgary. Chef Steve Brochu of Chartier sits down in Edmonton with our man-about-Canada, Dan Clapson, to talk about the series and why the Prairies are worth taking note of.
