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!

Ep. Deux cent sept: He squeezed it in my kitchen!

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.

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

It was a very revealing Thanksgiving show as the boys each announced what they'd choose for their final drink. Vincent: vintage champagne and/or cognac. John: a pint of Guinness and/or 12-year-old Redbreast whiskey. Quinno: a Pilsner Urquell and fine añejo tequila. No 'or' required.

2024/11/08

Things we learned in the first post-election show: The sun will come up tomorrow...John and Quinno have never heard of roasted grapes...standing in line is sometimes worth it...and there's a new menu at 'Chloe by Vincent.' All in all, it was a very informative show!

The boys addressed some important issues this week. No, really! You get what you pay for with truffle oil. Shrinkflation is real and it's sneaky. And there's a place in the kitchen for non-stick pans. Like we said, important issues

It was quite a revealing show this week. Quinno revealed that he got 'pismoed' in Portugal...John revealed that he's still getting used to peanut butter...and Vincent revealed that he is stressed when he eats at his own restaurants. His marketing manager was unavailable for comment.

41:52

Ep. Cent quatre-vingt-dix: If in doubt, drink champagne.

2024/09/06

Along with the usual shenanigans, the boys did their first ever blind taste test on this week's show. Which did they think was better, Irish Cheddar or American Cheddar, without knowing which was which? Who knew cheese could be so dramatic? Especially Cheddar!

The full band was back together, and the show turned into a bit of a global culinary trip. Vincent had beef tartare in the North Loop...John had ahi tuna tacos in Duluth..and Quinno had a Vietnamese sandwich in Sydney. These boys get around!

Nutrisoda, Crispin Cider, Copper & Kings American Brandy, and now Bar Diver Deluxe Cocktails; all of these were founded by Joe Heron. We thought Joe would make a top-shelf guest. We were right. Enjoy!

2024/07/19

The boys were in a playful mood as they addressed some complex issues: Vincent missed John's Ameriversary Party...John rediscovered the joy of a gas grill...and Quinno ate a wrinkly brat. That's not a euphemism, by the way...or maybe it is.

Papa said, 'Don't order the burger!'

Vincent was back from France with stories to tell, and he brought his daughter Chloe along to help. It was very much a Francoual family affair. Fun stuff.

2024/06/07

Given that Vincent is on vacation...again...John and Quinno decided to punish him by making him answer a bunch of questions about his life and times before he left. How did Le Grand Fromage do? You be the judge.

Ep. Cente soixante-douze: Jason DeRusha stops by!

Le Grand Fromage ·

2024/05/03

The boys were joined in the studio by Twin Cities radio personality, food writer, and restaurant critic, Jason Derusha. Was it good to have a grown-up in the room? It most certainly was. This is tasty stuff.

42:42

Ep. Cent soixante et onze: He only had one glass of...

Le Grand Fromage ·

2024/04/26

Despite the fact that the boys had a long chat about retirement, this is still a food podcast. Vincent talked about hunter-style chicken...John talked about Texas beef brisket...and Quinno talked about a table-sized t-bone. Apologies to all vegans.

Ep. Cent soixante-dix: "If I ate cardboard, it would...

2024/04/19

The boys shared some interesting eating and drinking experiences this week. Vincent had wonton ravioli in coconut broth...Quinno had a martini on the balcony...and John had curried chip pizza. Honestly, that sounds so wrong it must be right!

Ep. Cent sioxante-huit: The boys are back in town.

Le Grand Fromage ·

2024/04/06

The LGF boys are back after spring break, and they were in fine form. Young Vincent almost signed up to be a paratrooper...John made an appearance at a Baptist church...and Quinno ate baked cod. Hey, it's a food podcast, after all!

37:04

Ep. Cent sioxante-sept: Vincent's dog ate my cookies!

Le Grand Fromage ·

2024/03/22

We learned some hards truths on this week's show: Vincent ate food with his fingers...John has a talent for poetry...and for Quinno, every table is a high top. Harsh, but fair. Oh, and you can now write to us at lgfpod.com. We'll keep an eye out.

Le Grand Fromage ·

2024/03/08

Quinno was a bit under the weather, but Vincent and John picked up the slack and the revelations kept coming: We don't judge, we mock...Guinness should just make beer, not chocolate...and you heal by the venom of the snake. Nope, no idea.
