Dirty Linen - A Food Podcast with Dani Valent

We return to the topic of wild-caught Australian seafood in this discussion with John Anastos. John's family has been devastated twice over by government decisions to close Port Phillip Bay fisheries, firstly with the ban on scallop fishing and next with the sardine net fishing ban. The uncertainty makes it hard to invest in a business that provides healthy, sustainable seafood to local eaters. https://www.instagram.com/anastos_fisheries/?hl=en Follow Dirty Linen on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dirtylinenpodcast Follow Dani Valent https://www.instagram.com/danivalent Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ Follow Huck (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork

We're talking Australian mushrooms with Martin Martini (Belly of the World). Whether it's spotting wild mushrooms while driving at 100kmh, collecting mysterious mushrooms in his hat or dreaming about the mushroom that he ends up finding the next day, Martin is all about mycology, mycelium and the magic of mushies. https://linktr.ee/bellyoftheworldmushrooms Follow Dirty Linen on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dirtylinenpodcast Follow Dani Valent https://www.instagram.com/danivalent Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ Follow Huck (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork

Nick Holliday runs Belvedere Farm on Jinibara country in the Sunshine Coast hinterland in Queensland. Nick was a lawyer and union organiser before buying a property he originally thought would be a fun weekender...but then he got more serious. Working alongside his wife Brydie, their approach goes beyond regenerative farming to agro-ecological principles with building community at its heart. It’s about beef, pork and eggs, but it’s also about land care, engagement with Indigenous owners and shaking up the system. https://www.facebook.com/belvederecedarton/ Follow The Producers on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/producerspodcast/ Host Anthony Huckstep https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ Host Dani Valent https://www.instagram.com/danivalent Executive Producer Rob Locke https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork

Here's what's on my mind this Friday! I fill you in on where I've been eating and what it's made me ponder. I muse on the tendency for immigrant cuisine to be anchored in the time of migration and the fresh joy when it time travels. I talk about Cam Tay-Yap's Koi pop-up and the lift-me-up energy in the room. And I consider rule changes: masks and vax check-ins are gone but is it entirely good?

Today Dirty Linen embarks on a special series focusing on fishing in Port Phillip Bay, the vast body of water that shapes Melbourne. Local food has never been so important - and Melbourne people love showing off their great food city. At the same time, supply chains are strained. Fuel is expensive. The pandemic, floods, droughts and fires have shown us that our stores are only a few days from being empty. And yet, in amongst all this, Victorians are on the brink of losing access to sustainable, affordable, accessible seafood from our doorstep as a net fishing ban comes into effect. It's a decision that no one seems to really believe in and yet there's a lack of will to stop it. We'll be staying on this topic for a couple of weeks, talking to all stakeholders as we try to tease this important issue out. To kick us off, we chat to Phil McAdam, the last sardine fisher in Port Phillip Bay. Phil is passionate, knowledgeable and distressed: he believes in what he does and he loves catching healthy, abundant fish for all Victorians. He also doesn't know how to do anything else. Net fishing is banned on April 1 and Phil still has no plans for April 2 and beyond. https://www.vancouverfisheries.com Follow Dirty Linen on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dirtylinenpodcast Follow Dani Valent https://www.instagram.com/danivalent Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ Follow Huck (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork

Our epic miniseries with the Pipit Girl Gang wraps up with Yen Trinh, co-owner of Pipit Restaurant and the powerhouse behind the Girl Gang pop-up. We reflect on the motivations behind this and other events, the challenges of being a parent and working in restaurants, and the benefits of bringing outside perspectives to an industry that can sometimes be insular. https://www.pipitrestaurant.com Follow Dirty Linen on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dirtylinenpodcast Follow Dani Valent https://www.instagram.com/danivalent Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ Follow Huck (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork

We continue with the Pipit Girl Gang in this conversation with sommelier Gabby Fury. Gabby works a day a week at Harvest Newrybar and consults on wine in between looking after her baby daughter Freida. Her family lives 10 minutes out of flood devastated Lismore and recovery and rebuilding looms large. We also chat about the pull of restaurants after a career as a musician and the challenges of balancing pregnancy, parenthood and hospo. https://www.instagram.com/gabbyfury/?hl=en Follow Dirty Linen on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dirtylinenpodcast Follow Dani Valent https://www.instagram.com/danivalent Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ Follow Huck (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork

We continue our Pipit Girl Gang series with Jude Ng, a chef at the Pottsville restaurant. Jude has been busy dealing with the floods - feeding people and pitching in. As an ex-social worker who came to cooking later in life, Jude reflects on the structural issues in hospitality as well as its many powerful joys. She also has the best story ever about a dog bite that changed her life. The Pipit Girl Gang series celebrates women who work in and around Pipit restaurant in northern New South Wales.
