Canada's dedicated B2B foodservice media network.
Ashton Media is the trade media network for Canadian foodservice and hospitality. Built for restaurant operators, chefs, distributors and suppliers, not consumers. Podcasts, newsletters, magazine, live broadcasts and summits, all under one roof.
Six properties. One trade audience.
The Late Night Restaurant Show
Canada's #1 restaurant podcast. Long-form conversations with the operators, chefs and brand leaders defining the trade.
Plated + Headlines
Twice-weekly newsletters built for operators and distributors. Industry moves, product launches, menu trends and the deals shaping the market.
NEED Magazine
Print and digital trade magazine for Canadian foodservice and hospitality decision makers.
Influencer Foodie Fridays
Canada's B2B cooking show. Real chefs reviewing real foodservice products live every Friday, launching 2027.
National Summit Series
Trade-only summits gathering operators, distributors and suppliers across Canada from 2027.
Bootcamps + Events
Hospitality bootcamps, hall of fame ceremonies, top-list dinners and brand-led activations across the country.
The B2B-only advantage.
Most "food media" mixes consumer and trade. We don't. Every word, every episode, every broadcast is built for the people running Canadian foodservice.
Every property is built for foodservice and hospitality professionals. We don't chase consumer reach — we own the room where decisions get made.
Calgary-rooted, nationally distributed. Our chefs, hosts and partners are spread across every Canadian province.
One story can ship as a podcast episode, a newsletter feature, a magazine spread, a live broadcast and a summit panel — one ecosystem, one buy.
Food cost, prep time, plate presentation, bottom line. Content is judged by whether it helps an operator run a better business this week.
Reach the Canadian trade.
Distributors, suppliers, equipment brands, associations and operators looking to connect closer to the Canadian foodservice industry, this is the network.
