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

We go deep with chef Chris Locke, talking about the way toxic kitchen culture has sent him down a new path in which his daily tasks might include dealing with 300 kg of sweet potatoes otherwise destined for the bin. As well as being chef at the no-waste Moving Feast kitchen at Melbourne’s Victoria Market, Chris is working on the first Australian Chefs’ Manifesto action hub event, which is forging community around the UN's sustainability goals.

What does a vinegar-soured pork curry from an obscure part of southern India have to do with climate change? We chat to Anjali Ganapathy, an unofficial ambassador for Coorg cuisine, the food she grew up with in a hilly forest and farming region of Karnataka. Coorg people are deeply connected to land and seasons; when the weather changes, so does culture. https://www.instagram.com/pigout_coorgkitchen/?hl=en Follow Dirty Linen on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dirtylinenpodcast Follow Dani

2024/04/23

Last year we did one of our most popular series ever on Dirty Linen, following the planning, building and opening of Martin Boetz's Shortgrain restaurant in Brisbane. It's been seven months and we were wondering...how is Marty going now? We check in to hear about staffing, costs, pricing, customers and vision - is Shortgrain the place its owner hoped it would be, and what advice does this experienced chef and restaurateur have with the wisdom of hindsight? https://www.shortgrain.com.au/ Follow

Even if hospitality isn't broken, is it breaking the people who work in it? We talk to Paul Pitcher, owner of Woodhouse, a steakhouse in Bendigo. Paul and his wife Danielle run their restaurant with passion and rigour but they're finding it increasingly hard to get the numbers to stack up. What would help their business and the hospitality industry as a whole? And what motivates Paul to keep going, even when there are tough truths every way he turns? https://thewoodhouse.com.au/ Follow Dirty Linen

Hospitality, tourism and accommodation are entwined, especially in regional Australia. But what happens when one pillar of that business is deeply compromised? We chat to Eloise Emmett, owner, chef and host at Little Norfolk Bay Bistro and Chalets in Tasmania. Eloise is troubled by booking platforms which take a huge cut of her margins and by customers who don't understand why booking direct is a great option. Is there a role for government to play in keeping tourism revenue

We've chatted about misogyny, sexism and poor culture before on Dirty Linen but it's always the right time to surface these issues and create awareness around toxic behaviour and efforts to eliminate it. Today's guest is Kaidee Grzankowski, co-owner of Maggie's Snacks & Liquor in Melbourne's Brunswick East. This is Kaidee's first business and she doesn't want her staff to experience the same sexism that has marred her time in hospitality. Have things improved? What can be done better? What does a

Dirty Linen - A Food Podcast with Dani Valent ·

2024/04/09

Something a bit different on Dirty Linen today. We’re chatting with Melbourne musician Jess Ribeiro who has a new album coming out in April, Summer of Love. Why have a musician on a food podcast? For one thing, I think all creative industries overlap and intertwine and there are synergies and lessons that we can share. Also, Jess has had various focuses on food throughout her life and career, beginning with a childhood in Chinese restaurants, continuing with a period in remote Australian communities

Today's guest is Tim Bone, an ex-MasterChef contestant who has resisted pressure to turn Tim's Toasties, his Ballarat-based mobile food business into a bricks-and-mortar operation.

When Lachlan Dougherty was an apprentice chef, it wasn't unusual for his head chef to call him into a lift to scream at him. Two decades later, the owner of Black Vice cafe in Hurstbridge still feels like he's unpicking the impacts of abuse. We talk about hospitality culture and the perpetuation of bad behaviour and - crucially - how courageous questioning and practical steps can lead to positive change. This is a brave chat - there's never a bad time to talk about mental health, but with so many

Today's guest is Ash Hicks, executive chef of Darling Group, which has a dozen or so venues in Victoria. What are the upsides and snags of being part of a group? Does money wash through the hallways?

I remember when Josh’s Rainbow Eggs first arrived at my local supermarket 14 or 15 years ago. The brightly coloured box promised free range eggs and the packaging had a photo of a young boy’s face on it - how great to be able to support a kid in his ethical business, I thought.
