While growing up in England Nick Woolard (Jagga Daku, Perth) had relatives in Australia and always yearned to head downunder. When he arrived as an 18 year old, he immersed himself into the hospitality sector of Melbourne and started to rise the ranks. But soon the frenetic nature of the job lead to alcohol and substance abuse, and he saw only one way out - to get as far away from the city as possible. He landed in Karratha and it completely changed his life. Now he’s opening a new, exciting venue in Perth that hopes to change the conversation on Indian food.

Although he was born and raised in Brescia, a town in North Italy, Andrea Sonnante (Martinez) never really fostered a great connection with food. In fact, by his own account when he landed in Australia he couldn’t even boil an egg, but working on a farm and connecting with people from different cultures changed everything. Soon enough he found himself a job as a kitchen hand and fell for the hospo life. Many moons, and many great venues later, he’s on the cusp of opening a venue with a hospitality group on the move, that pays homage to the French Riviera. https://www.instagram.com/martinez__sydney/?hl=en Follow Deep In The Weeds on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/deepintheweedspodcast/?hl=en Follow Huck https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork Deep in the Weeds is a food podcast hosted by Anthony Huckstep in conversation with chefs, food producers and members of the hospitality industry.
