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 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 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER https://deepintheweeds.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=d33e307cf7100cf947e2e6973&id=d17d8213f5 Dirty Linen is a food podcast hosted by Australian journalist Dani Valent.

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 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 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER https://deepintheweeds.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=d33e307cf7100cf947e2e6973&id=d17d8213f5 Dirty Linen is a food podcast hosted by Australian journalist Dani Valent.

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 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 SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER https://deepintheweeds.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=d33e307cf7100cf947e2e6973&id=d17d8213f5 Dirty Linen is a food podcast hosted by Australian journalist Dani Valent.

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 local? https://littlenorfolkbaybistroandchalets.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 Dirty Linen is a food podcast hosted by Australian journalist Dani Valent.

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 new business owner do when they want to be the change? https://www.instagram.com/maggiessnacksandliquor/?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 Dirty Linen is a food podcast hosted by Australian journalist Dani Valent.

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 where kids caught birds for lunch, and moving forward to today's long tours as a muso trying to exist on something other hot chips. NEW ALBUM 'SUMMER OF LOVE' out April 12.

It was big news when Teage Ezard announced his 18-year-old Melbourne restaurant Gingerboy had shut the doors. People realised that tricky times in hospitality weren't just a story, they were impacting seasoned restaurateurs. What happened behind the scenes at Gingerboy and why was now the right time to close? And does hospo veteran Teage Ezard think his beloved industry is broken? https://www.instagram.com/chefteageezard/?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 Dirty Linen is a food podcast hosted by Australian journalist Dani Valent.

Is hospitality broken? Maybe not - if you don't let it break you. 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. Staying nimble means less risk, more flexibility and lower outlay.
