This episode of Lets Talk About Chef is a little different in that it is not really about food or restaurants or chefs or reviewing aspects of Brians culinary life in any way shape or form. It is about the gin craze that almost destroyed London England in the 1700's.
The Gin Craze was a time when had of Londons population were fully addicted to chugging pints of essentially poison and if you didn't die you were pretty much guaranteed to fight, pass out, steal, kill and sell everything you owned to get more of the stuff.
