EP 345 | George Siu Memphis Blues BBQ House

April 7, 2025 Mulligan Stew Podcast

hello

George Siu is a pal and the co-founder of Memphis Blues BBQ House. They now have 6 locations.  3 in Vancouver and 3 in Alberta.
They serve top-of-the-line BBQ..beautifully cooked.
George and Park Hefflefinger started the first location after heading to Memphis and spending much time studying the process and tricks of the trade.
The Memphis style is to slow cook in a pit.
Either dry or wet ribs. Dry has a rub with salt, spices before cooking – no sauce.  Wet are brushed with sauce before during and after cooking.

Our infamous Elvis platter

I had a number of things I wanted to ask George…
Has any of the Buy Canada affected your business? – It is called Memphis Blues after all.
You have a wall of American bourbon. What’s happened to it?
Have you made any moves to serve Canadian craft distilleries?
Beer, Cider?
Are the tariffs having an effect?
How different are the wine and drink choices between BC and Alberta?
What pairs well with smoky BBQ?
It’s not just a Q&A session. With George Siu it’s always a trading of stories. Some are actually true.

Mulligan Stew March 29th 2025-Two donors – one named Beresh

March 28, 2025 Mulligan Stew

hello

Lucky to have two donors to finish off March shows.

March 29 brings Brian Beresh and Pat Paradis in hour one.

The very same weekend we celebrate the Beresh Arts Den opening and reveal the signage.

As usual, Brian and Pat have very little music input into the hour, BUT I do to have a notebook I brought to our last lunch at the marina below us.

Pat filled up several pages of suggestions that I plan to play before Summer kicks off.

She knows her artists, especially her songs.

When I asked Brian in our interview who he would dream of having on this Den stage, the first name was Wynton Marsalis and the last was Etta James.

Very interesting couple these two.

The second hour is also very interesting.

We’re celebrating Amy Foggin’s 50th birthday. She’s a big fan of CKUA Radio. Lives in Calgary.

Her daughter Kate collected funds from all her friends to buy and donate two hours of The Stew.

Counting Kate – 44 different people pitched in to donate two hours for Amy.  That’s FORTY FOUR  donors.

 

All of the above may explain the make up of this playlist.

Which starts with the great Doug Sahm – The Sir Douglas Quintet from Honky Blues

Fantastic Negrito, Elisapie, Steve Earle and Emmylou Harris kick it off.

Great new music from Toby Lee, Fabulous T-Birds. Gems from Norah Jones, Annie Lennox and Paul Simon Live for 10 minutes.

 

Hour two – for Amy.

Springsteen, Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne live, Elle King, North Mississippi All-stars and Mavis, Leeroy Stagger, Maggie Rogers, Leif Vollebekk, The Hip, Tegan and Sara, Frazey Ford, Yoke Lore and finish with CSN and Young – Live at the Fillmore.

Don’t forget The O’Jays, The Band and Mavis  & Aaron Neville.

 

Cheers – Happy Juno weekend

EP 343 | Mulligan Stew Podcast March 22 – 2025 Vancouver Wine Festival. The Highlights.

March 21, 2025 Mulligan Stew Podcast

hello

We started this podcast well over 300 episodes ago. When we started the title was
Mulligan Stew Podcast (Music. Film. Food. Wine)
Over the months the Pod became more music and film than anything else. Just the way the road leads us.
Tasting Room Radio has worked its way back into the mix because of critical dynamics taking place.
Cold damaged vineyards,  An agreement between BC Wine Growers and the BC Government to allow the 2024 wines to be grown and harvested in Washinton, Oregon and California.
BC wine battles with political neighbours in Alberta, Tariffs from the USA and more.
All of these subjects were discussed over and over again by the wine trade and fans in attendance.
Tasting Room Radio set up the same home base they always have.
Up to 6 chairs in a circle on the convention centre floor ..leaving room for the invited and the walk-ins.
We couldn’t fit everyone in, so we decided to build the show around the most interesting storylines and storytellers.
 
With apologies to those we couldn’t fit in, the podcast guests are
 
Co-Hosts – Jenna Brisco, Maude Renaud-Brisson & Kelcie Jones. Educators and Somms at This is Wine School.
 
Richard Kanazawa – winemaker at Bench 1775 (Naramata)
Tracey Horneman – winemaker at Blue Grouse (Cowichan)
Kailee Frasch – Winemaker Quails Gate  (West Kelowna)
 
Harry Hertscheg – Executive Director Van Wine Fest
Evan Goldstein – Master Sommelier (SF)
Tony Holler – Owner Poplar Grove (Naramata)
Wine School Team 
Taylor Butterfield – White Wine  Winemaker  Chateau Ste. Michelle (Washington)

Mulligan Stew March 22nd 2025-Bringing it all back home. 

March 21, 2025 Mulligan Stew

hello

March 22 1965 Bob Dylan releases Bringing it all back home. 
The album changed music and lives. It was all electric, a step away from his folk beginnings and into rock/pop/blues.
Fans were either disappointed and dismissive or filled with a new joy.
We start these two hours with the “hit” off the album Subterranean Homesick Blues.
And follow it up with Mr. Tambourine Man, covered spectacularly that summer by The Byrds.
Besides classics from Marvin, Los Lobos, Bruce, Eagles (released On the Border March 22, 1974), Rolling Stones, Tedeschi Trucks Band, The Temps…
We have a tonne of new music from Jesse Roper, Caleigh Cardinal, Elton John/Brandi Carlile, BNLadies, Mike Farris, Chappell Roan, Red Clay Strays, Terra Lightfoot, Leanne Lightfoot, Marcus Trummer, Honeybear The Band and more.
Then we finish the last 30 minutes with ALL LIVE music.
 54-40 – at the El Mocambo
The Wood Bros – Live at The Barn
Los Lobos – Live at The Ritz
Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band  – Live
Tedeschi Trucks Band – Live at Fox Oakland
And Two tracks from Van Morrison’s Live at Orangefield  (his old school, just before it was shuttered)

EP 342 | Stephen Fearing (The Empathist) & Bill Henderson (Chilliwack – Farewell to Friends)

March 16, 2025 Mulligan Stew Podcast

hello

Two guests on the Mulligan Stew Podcast
Both great pals.
Stephen Fearing is a key member of Blackie and the Rodeo Kings. Like all three  Front Line band mates, they each have their own solo careers.
That’s one of the outstanding elements of their relationship. Freedom to create – together or solo.
Stephen Fearing has just released his newest album, The Empathist.
Co-Produced in East Nashville with Ken Coomer (Uncle Tupelo, Wilco, Al Green, Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle)
Stephen is a truly talented songwriter, but he also carries with him, his Irish storytelling skills.
The songs on The Empathist beautifully weave those skills together.  Currently on tour – link below.
Highly Recommended.
Bill Henderson is the leader of Chilliwack. For some 30 years, they’ve been crafting hits and touring The World.
As lead singer, songwriter and guitarist,  Bill has been inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, Rock Hall of Fame and made a member of the Order of Canada.
In 2025, the band is on its last tour – Farewell to Friends!!

Enjoy – Happy St Patrick’s Day
