Gazing Into The Starlight
This episode takes a deep dive into Stratford’s evolving food and tourism culture. Craig is joined by co-host Joanie Chapple for a lively discussion with Megan Jones, co-owner of The Starlight, and Executive Chef Yva Santini. We explore Stratford’s restaurant scene, the importance of community gathering spaces, and how the city’s hospitality industry differs from that of Toronto’s. Megan shares her journey from running the Gaslight, a bar in Toronto’s Junction neighbourhood, to launching the Starlight in Stratford during the pandemic, while Yva reflects on her 25-year culinary career which began at the Stratford Chef’s School.
