Authenticity is the emperor’s new clothes

Cultural appropriation with Chef Suzanne Barr, the five year anniversary of Mirella's book Beerology, food safety in cookbooks, and a #blindbeerdate ends happily ever after.
 
We are so excited to welcome Chef Suzanne Barr, whose brand and infamy are on a steady rise in Toronto and beyond. She joins Mirella and Joshna to dig deeper into questions about cultural appropriation in restaurants. Is it really happening? What can we do about it? What questions could chefs ask themselves and each other?
 
A little birdie told Joshna that Mirella is celebrating the five year anniversary of the publication of her book, Beerology: Everything You Need To Know To Enjoy Beer Even More. She puts Mirella on the spot for an AMA on Beer.
 
Then, should cookbooks really be teaching us about food safety? A new study suggests yes…
 
Finally, we stumble upon a match made in heaven on #blindbeerdate.
