We sat down with Jason Pleym to talk about meat. He and his wife, Margot, are the co-founders of Two Rivers Specialty Meats. Based in North Vancouver, Two Rivers has grown to become nearly synonymous with meat in the city, particularly because of their role as supplier to many chefs and restaurants, as well as their connection with vendors like SPUD, who sell their products.

Plus, we talk about the upcoming Brewery and the Beast event. Two Rivers is once again the meat sponsor of this wildly popular (and sold out) summertime fest of all things meat and beer. Mark you calendars for 2020 to be sure to get tickets for next year.

Co-hosts Lindsay and Adam also talk about the closing of Escobar restaurant, and what summer in Vancouver is all about for each of them.

Speaking of summer, the V.I.A. Podcast is going to go on a summer break, so take some time to relax and enjoy any of the 65 other episodes in our archives. PS: Wear sunscreen!
