Description
Scratch is a Canadian podcast about the people behind the plate - the chefs and restaurateurs who built their businesses, lives, and communities through food.
From immigrants finding home in a new country to locals turning cafés into community hubs, these are stories of hustle, resilience, and heart. Food isn’t just about what’s on the table - it’s about connection, belonging, and building something meaningful from scratch.
