Episode 082 - Martini Salad Cart

When you sit down at a steakhouse… …what really matters?  Is it what’s on the plate… …or is it the experience that surrounds it? “I want a little pomp and circumstance!”These are wise words from Chef Claire Lassam of the wonderful Livia Sweets on Vancouver’s Commercial Drive.Claire, along with Michael Trager of the Vegas- and luxury-travel empire TravelZork, are my guests today as we talk through how a good steakhouse curates a feeling and all the little details that make up a great experience. Long-time listeners will remember Claire from Episode 044 of the show and Michael from Episode 057. Today, it’s all about the feels. Order your favourite drink, choose your cut and your sides, and sink into your chair for the talk. To the steakhouse we go.
