Episode 74: Beer, BBQ and Matty Matheson

A couple of weeks ago our old friend Duncan Welgemoed from Attica got in touch while he was in Sydney for the Beer and BBQ Festival and asked if we wanted to come interview Canadian food lover Matty Matheson. Mitch was overseas living it up but Levins carted his setup to the festival and interviewed Matty in the best scenario possible: behind a makeshift kitchen in the loudest part of a food and music festival, surrounded by drunk chefs who kept stealing the microphones.

Episode 69: Master of Buns (with Lee Tran Lam)

We recorded this episode with one of our favourite regular guests Lee Tran Lam yesterday after lunch. On our ways home we received the news about our friend Jeremy Strode, an incredibly kind and generous chef who passed away early this week. He’s someone who has appeared on the show in our early days and has probably inspired almost every other guest we’ve had on since. We’ll speak about Jeremy and his legacy many, many times in the future but Mitch and I decided to record a short intro over the phone that we added to this episode this morning. Rest in peace Jeremy. Our love to his family, friends and fans.

After our short, badly recorded intro, our episode with Lee Tran Lam begins. We talk about Australian junk food, women in the food industry, Master of None and how good Momofuku Seiobo is. Make sure you check out Lee Tran’s podcast The Unbearable Lightness of Being Hungry!

Find out the juiciest Marco Pierre White gossip from the festival and learn a little about The Orana Foundation, which works with Aboriginal communities to study native Australian ingredients on both a cooking and a cultural level.

Halfway through the episode we're interrupted by Jake Smyth of Mary's and The Unicorn fame, who lets us know why his face is covered in burns, what he got up to at Tasting Australia and what he has planned for his next big project: reopening The Lansdowne.
