Your host is food journalist Dani Valent. For 20 years, Dani has been writing about restaurants and the people who give them life. But she"s an outsider, a critic, a tourist, a fan. Despite hearing the stories and writing the tales, she"s never really understood what happens behind the scenes. Now it"s time

2024/08/25

We’ve always talked about toxic work culture on Dirty Linen but unfortunately it’s a topic that doesn’t get old. Over the past week, the Sydney Morning Herald and Good Food have published a series of investigative articles about Swillhouse group, and I wrote an ancillary story about the endemic nature of sexual harassment in hospitality. We talk it all over with Katie Shortland, co-owner of RaRa Ramen in Sydney and a media lawyer in film & TV. Personal accountability is part of the change and that’s

Is food political? Absolutely, if you ask Alice Taylor, New Zealand MasterChef contestant and author of Alice In Cakeland.

Some people work in hospitality for a short while, others devote their lives to it but it’s pretty unusual to enter the game in your 50s. Catherine Gibson Roy owns We Three bar in Sydney’s Marrickville with her daughter Alli, an experienced hospo pro. As a newcomer to the industry, Catherine is in awe of Alli’s skills.
