DALE DICKEY + SASH SIMPSON

On the Saturday November 23, 2024 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we’ll meet Dale Dickey. You know her as a formidable character actor, known for her Independent Spirit Award winning performance in “Winter’s Bone,” and appearances in more than 60 movies, like Iron Man 3 and Hell or High Water, and television shows like My Name Is Earl, Breaking Bad and True Blood. Her latest film is the dark thriller “The G.” In the movie, she plays a grandmother looking for vengeance with the help of her granddaughter Emma (Denis), who calls her "The G," after a corrupt legal guardian puts her in a care home in order to take her property. Then, we’ll hear the remarkable story of Sash Simpson. These days Sash is the owner/operator and Chef of Sash, a beautiful, fine dining restaurant featuring his distinctive, signature blend of globally inspired, locally-sourced ingredients. He’s also the subject of a new documentary, now on Crave, called “Born Hungry.” In the film, director Barry Avrich tells Sash’s triumphant and challenging story from a five year old orphan on the streets of Chennai, India, to establishing himself as one of Toronto’s top celebrated chefs.
