Today we sit down to podcast at a bistro in Chandler with a dog and 4 humans. While the humans were better at the interview portion, the dog crushed the eating part. Who let the dogs out? We did - let's go.

Welcome to another episode buddy! Today we have Barb Savoy on the podcast to chat up Friends for Life Animal Shelter. This no-kill shelter in Gilbert has dogs/cats and all kinds of community programs. Don’t miss their Yard Sale, Jan 23-25th. Details on their site.

Next up, the hosts of MTN sit down with Chris and Laura, Owners of all three Perfect Pear Bistro.

In the interview, Mathew broke down his ultimate menu items for you:
