Dirty Linen - A Food Podcast with Dani Valent

We're marking International Women's Day by launching a series of podcasts centred on Pipit's 'Girl Gang' celebration of women in hospitality. Since we planned the series, the northern New South Wales region surrounding the Pottsville restaurant has been slammed by devastating floods. There's a lot to talk about. We kick off with Lily Pegus, pastry chef at Pipit. https://www.pipitrestaurant.com/store-1/girl-gang-female-chefs-mentor-booklet-free-download 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

Jo Bangles was getting tired of hauling eskies full of cheese to music festivals. Sure she wasn't the only one, she launched Splatters cheese truck, an instant hit that emerged from the pandemic as a cheese train. But Splatters is more than a conveyor belt restaurant: it's a beacon of diversity and inclusion and a testament to the power of food to bring people together. https://www.splatters.online 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

Beloved Melbourne institution Tuck Shop Takeaway closed recently after 9½ years. We chat to owner Clinton Serex about why he and wife Karina parlayed their fine dining experience into a burger shop and the joys and challenges of running a small values-based business while bringing up a family.

As we end 2021 and crash - groan - stumble - leap - into an uncertain 2022 I have less of a vision of any new year than I’ve ever had.
