In this episode, Ingrid (@ingastura) and Rob (@rob.nester) sit down to talk about our great neighbor to the north, Canada! From its transition from French and English settlements to a vibrant independent nation, we will discuss its natural beauty, our favorite Canadian foods, and how could we not discuss Canadian pop culture, music, and sport. Marian Walsh, affectionately known as Mare, bartender at Hamilton, Ontario, Canada's own Handsome Dave's stops by to talk about her life in hospitality, what it's been like to help develop a city's cocktail scene, and how she brings her "A-game" for the brunch shift!
