BONUS RECIPE: Download Chef Jonathan Frazier's Recipe for the iconic Italian Beef Sandwich: https://bit.ly/S1EP11FootballRecipe
This week on the F3 Podcast, hosts Erin Frazier and Chef Jonathan Frazier of the Comox Valley go long-distance once again — with Erin checking in from the frozen tundra of Winnipeg while the NFL playoff picture tightens.
Erin breaks down the brutal end to her fantasy football season, with a championship loss sealed by a disastrous Thursday night performance and a second-place finish that still stings. The duo recaps key Week 17 storylines, from Seattle’s playoff push to injury concerns that could reshape the postseason.
Team of the Week is the Chicago Bears, as Jonathan and Erin dig into the franchise’s historic legacy, the rise of rookie QB Caleb Williams, and why Chicago may be a team to watch next season.
And of course, it’s time to eat. Chef Jonathan serves up classic Chicago game-day food, from deep-dish pizza and Chicago dogs to his pick of the week — the iconic Italian beef sandwich, built for cold weather and playoff vibes.
This Episode Features:
• Fantasy football finals heartbreak and lessons learned
• Week 17 NFL storylines and playoff implications
• Team of the Week: Chicago Bears & Caleb Williams
• Chicago-style comfort food and tailgate classics
“Second place hurts — especially when it ends on a minus-nine-point quarterback.” – Erin Frazier
“It doesn’t get more Chicago than Italian beef: big flavour, no shortcuts.” – Jonathan Frazier
