Wait! What? Say it ain't so! The show opens with the bombshell that this is the last episode of Le Grand Fromage for the foreseeable future. Noooooo! Why? Who's to blame? What's next? And what does Vincent really have against Veuve Clicquot? This is your last chance to find out!

Show notes

Vincent is in Morocco, but before he left, the boys recorded a special interview with chef/owner Abraham Gessesse from Hyacinth restaurant in St. Paul. Great restaurant, cool guy, fun interview. That’ll work!

Ep. Deux cent huit: There's a lot of salt to cover the sadness of the taste. Jan 10, 2025

Show notes

Memorable quotes from this week's show. John: 'You might win some bubble bath and a six-pack.' Quinno: 'What goes in must come out at some point.' Vincent: 'At 14 you get to ride a muppet.' At least, we think that's what he said.

Ep. Deux cent sept: He squeezed it in my kitchen! Jan 01, 2025

Show notes

The boys dropped some major bombshells as they ushered in the new year. John is done with Irish tea. Quinno bought an air fryer. To be honest, Vincent claimed he didn't have a bombshell to drop, but no one believed him. All the more reason to keep listening in 2025, really. Sorted.

Ep. Deux cent six: Oh yes, that tastes like Christmas! Dec 23, 2024

Show notes

In the official pre-Christmas episode, the boys all told their favorite tales of Christmases past from different parts of the world. It was proper festive stuff. Well, let's be honest, egg nog makes everything more festive.

Ep. Deux cent cinq: No one hates me enough to make me eat that! Dec 20, 2024

Show notes

This show was a 2nd birthday celebration for Chloe by Vincent! In other news, Vincent went to see Wicked. John went to La Ferme in Alexandria. And Quinno made the boys eat Vegemite and Marmite. It did not go well

Show notes

On a chilly night, Vincent reinvents a French classic with his Chicken, Coconut Milk & Mushroom delight—perfect for a cozy winter dinner!
The gang takes on peanut butter—store-bought vs. organic—and debates if the price difference is worth it.
In One for the Ditch: A sip of Castle Danger’s West Coast IPA leads to a lively chat on its layers of zest, zing, and complexity.Plus, in a clash of Holiday traditions, John is dodging Christmas music, while Vincent blasts carols on the school run.
And if anyone can help Vincent’s mango issues, please do!

Ep. Deux cent trois: This is a safe space; stick your finger in the mayonnaise. Dec 06, 2024

Show notes

The big news coming out of this week's show is that there's a 'Vincent, a Restaurant' pop-up coming! Also, John got to sample some top-shelf crab legs, and Quinno doesn't understand the need for an Apple Pie cocktail. Does anyone?
