Friday on my mind! This is an occasional bonus pod and brain dump where I share some of the thoughts flying around my head on a Friday.
This time I talk about Sydney fave Fratelli Paradiso, my new Eat Streets series for The Age, and new Melbourne eateries Sebastian Kakigori, Papelon and Charlong.
There’s also a special drop-in guest - chef Ronith Arlikatti happened to be dining at his new restaurant Hopper Joint on the same day that I snuck in for a meal. We compare notes…

We dive into MoVida's wines by the glass, Shanteh gives the inside word from the world of wine shows and Dani compares wine judging to restaurant critiquing. Is there a good drink for Halloween? Shanteh isn't spooked by the question and comes up with a great idea!

Anyone who’s been to Reine, the new Melbourne restaurant from the NOMAD group, has a lot to say about it. They usually start with the incredible space - the restaurant is in a cathedral-like old stock exchange building that dates to the 1890s. They talk about the cocktails, the seafood, the steak - and I’m still thinking about the cheese offering!
But they often also talk about the acoustics. How is it possible in this soaring stone chamber that you can hear yourself think, let alone have conversations?
We talk to the woman who can answer that question. Helen Searle is an acoustic, audio-visual and theatre consultant within the Arup Melbourne team.

How have the early days been? Is it everything Marty dreamed of - or has it been a restaurant nightmare?

This is the fifth and final episode in a special series of The Producers. AgriCultured 2023 celebrates the farmers and produce of northern Tasmania. In five conversations, we get to know farmers caring for both land and community. Along the way we hear how strong local food systems and ethical farming not only foster delicious food. They also benefit farmers, eaters and the earth we all share.
Matthew Young owns Elphin Grove farm in northern Tasmania. With the climate consistent and the rainfall reliable, Matt has turned his undulating acres into an incredibly diverse business growing everything from pharmaceutical poppies, peas for processing and a mysterious ugly vegetable that was unknown to him before he started farming it himself. There are three generations of Youngs on this farm, whether they’re eight or 80, they all feel very tied to this patch of land in northern Tasmania.

This is the third episode in a special series of The Producers. Agricultured 2023 celebrates the farmers and produce of northern Tasmania. In five conversations, we celebrate farmers caring for both land and community. Along the way you’ll hear how strong local food systems and ethical farming do much more than create delicious food. They also benefit farmers, eaters and the earth we all share.

Marion’s Vineyard is a love story, an immigrant tale, a family legend and an example of what can happen when passion meets philosophy and an appreciation of soil, heritage and legacy. Cynthea Semmens is the second generation to be making wine at this special vineyard overlooking the Tamar River - Kanamaluka, 35km north of Launceston. Her approach: trying to get the view in every bottle.
