‘Why let mother nature get in the way of us having a good time and doing something really fun?’ – Scott Bagshaw, returning #riverpopup chef, pretty much sums things up the spirit of RAW:almond to CTV Winnipeg.
Mandel misplaced his headlamp, so this entry a bit dark. He reflects on the second night of RAW:almond service and on his first night on ice. The spirited chef strategizes on keeping warm, describes adjustments to his system, and declares, “The cold’s not going to get to me, I’m going to find a way to make it work no matter what”. Watch to the end for its poetic finish.
