The AlCan roads continued to be positively lunar, the way back every bit as murderously potholed as the way up. With each bounce and jostle, Miracle winced in pain and I apologized—to her, to the bus, to Jolene, to the cars stacked up behind us. At least we had some good seats.

Podcast: Detour #2
We heard from Xavier at the end of season 5 and all of his adventures in his VW bus. But did you ever wonder how we became a chef? We did. The story is amazing.

Podcast: Detour #1
We’ve added some bonus episodes called Detours. In each detour we veer off the VW route and delve into some of the material from past interviews was left on the cutting room floor. In this episode we talk about people spelling their names and that time Nellie had a close encounter with a horse.
