The Pals talk to Chef Michael Angeloni
Monday Feb 28, 2022
Monday Feb 28, 2022
Toronto-born Chef Michael Angeloni (@chefmichaelangeloni) immersed himself in the culinary world after discovering his insatiable passion for cooking at an early age.
Chef Angeloni then trained at The Black Hoof under Grant Van Gameren and went on to assist with several of the city’s most successful restaurant openings, including F’Amelia and The Hoof Café. In 2011, at the age of 24, he was appointed Head Chef at L’Unita Enoteca and was listed among the province’s ‘Top 30 under 30’ by the Ontario Hospitality Industry. The following year, he moved on to the highly successful Grand Electric where he was Executive Chef for four years, working with Head Chef Colin Tooke to develop the menu and oversee the Queen Street and Muskoka locations.
After years of honing his craft and working in acclaimed Canadian culinary establishments, in 2016 Chef Angeloni partnered with Yannick Bigourdan, Adam Teolis, and Dan Kennedy to create Open Concept Hospitality (OC Hospitality), which serves as the parent company of Amano Italian Kitchen, Amano Trattoria, Union Chicken, Uncle Ray’s Food & Liquor and Mikey’s Smash Burgers. Since 2021, Chef Angeloni has been involved with top chef and restaurant prepared meal kit service, Chefdrop, where he contributes dishes and acts as Consulting Chef and Partner, developing recipes in conjunction with participating chefs.

The Pals talk to Fefe Dobson
Friday Feb 25, 2022
Friday Feb 25, 2022

With a career spanning nearly two decades and decorated with several awards, nominations and music certifications to her name, multi-platinum recording artist Fefe Dobson is a true renaissance woman within the entertainment industry. Emerging as a pop / rock artist in the early 2000’s, Fefe stood out among her contemporaries as an edgy black female outlier in an otherwise male dominated genre.
Fefe’s new single is best described as a euphoric rush of passionate love driven by the heartbeat of synth, electric guitars and emphatic drum progression. Produced by Thomas “Tawgs” Salter (Walk Off The Earth, Mother Mother, Lights) and co-written by Cook Classics (Beyoncé, Ava Max, Panic! at the Disco), Negin Djafari (Drake, ZAYN, Lights) and Dobson herself, the song was originally written back in 2012 about the insatiable love for her then boyfriend, American rap artist Yelawolf, who would later become her husband. The new single marks the long awaited return from the pop / rock artist as her first commercial music release in nearly 8 years.

The Pals talk to Alyssa Reid
Thursday Feb 17, 2022
Thursday Feb 17, 2022
Alyssa Reid (@alyssareid) is back with the recent release of a new album, ASHS. As you may be aware, Reid took a step back from releasing music shortly after the global success of her 2015 release, Phoenix. During this time away from the mainstage, Reid fed the creative side of herself, becoming a creative director on projects for other artists and diving deeper into her songwriting. This time away from the limelight is also what brought ASHS to life as it provided Reid with the space to embrace her darker side with an honesty and passion like never before.

Armed with a brand new perspective on life, Marcus now challenges other baseball players to see life’s distractions for what they are, so they can focus on what matters most, and DREAM WITHOUT LIMITS! Enjoy the listen!
