Back with a late start to 2023 after a long pause since March. Getting back into this podcast thing and started with my good buddy Ty to talk shit about last year and this year, kinda.

Breakfast is also a big deal in Whistler and the discussion about who has the best breakfast wrap (and to some, burrito) is a long standing issue. Might not be talked about much, but this matters. Also, Whistler food shops, please decide if what you have is a wrap or burrito. Anyway, we review Moguls, Alpine Cafe, Mount Currie (Whistler) and Delish Cafe in Function. Hope you enjoy.
