Interviews that defined a generation and uncovered truths from some of the biggest political scandals of the time. Richard Nixon, Monica Lewinsky, the ex-Duke of York formerly known as Prince Andrew, to name only a few. Today, we bring you an interview with Nathen Mazri. Former Garfield Eats proprietor, former PPC candidate, and now, running for Toronto City Council in Ward 1 Etobicoke North. Will this interview be as era-defining as the others?  His CV is likely stranger than any other candidate, and his legally distinct Garfield (called Nathfield) campaign song probably isn’t going to top the charts. He only got 235 votes during the last federal election, so why does he think he has a shot at being mayor of Toronto in 2030? Is he delusional? Or is his conviction so strong that he might just do it?  Further Reading: Nathen Mazri Canadian entrepreneur behind GarfieldEATS wants to disrupt fast-food, one lasagna at a time - Globe & Mail Love Me, Feed Me, Never Leave Me: The Strange Saga of the World’s Greatest Garfield Restaurateur - MEL Magazine I Ate Lasagna and Garfuccinos at the New Garfield-Themed Restaurant in Toronto - Food & Wine Garfield pizza entrepreneur runs for PPC in Toronto Centre - Toronto Today The Nathfield Podcast - Spotify Host: Sam Konnert Credits: Noor Azrieh (Producer), Aviva Lessard (Senior Producer), Chad Galloway (Audio Editing & Production), Tristan Capacchione (Senior Production Supervisor), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher) Featured guest: Nathen Mazri Fact checking by: Julian Abraham Additional music by: Audio Network Sponsors:   Shopify : Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial today at https://shopify.ca oxio : Head over to https://…","meta_description":"In the history of journalism, there have been a number of iconic interviews.
