Dirty Linen - A Food Podcast with Dani Valent en Deep in the Weeds Dirty Linen goes behind the scenes in restaurants, cafes and bars, covering issues the hospitality industry finds hard to share in public - it's all up for grabs and everything is on the table. Your host is food journalist Dani Valent. For 20 years, Dani has been writing about restaurants and the people who give them life. But she's an outsider, a critic, a tourist, a fan. Despite hearing the stories and writing the tales, she's never really understood what happens behind the scenes. Now it's time to get stuck in, with compassion, humour and fearlessness. Dirty Linen goes deep, both in conversations with individuals and in pressing topics. We ask the hard questions and discuss the big issues, bringing a unique perspective to a world that we all intersect with but often don’t understand.

]]> 1967 Heleana Genaus ( Rising Sun Workshop) - the heart of community Restaurants are at the heart of community, community is at the heart of restaurants - or the best of them, anyway. Whether it’s a lunchspot in the centre of a big city, a family restaurant in a suburb, or a coffee machine in a servo in a tiny town, a business that understands the value of community and its place within it - to give and to get - is the kind of place that reels me in. One place I’m drawn back to in Sydney is Rising Sun Workshop, a motorcycle workshop and ramen cafe in Newtown for more than a decade. It’s not because I love motorbikes.

]]> 1970 Jenna Abbruzzese (Lamb Farmer) - turning to rural life We love a special series on Dirty Linen… and this is the first episode of an occasional but ongoing discussion with Jenna Abbruzzese. I first encountered Jenna more than a decade ago when she was a chef at Middle Eastern restaurant Rumi in Melbourne’s Brunswick East. Later, she opened her own business, Kitchenette, with her friend Megan. Kitchenette was a cafe and food store where everything was made from scratch with love and sensitivity. Now Jenna - an accomplished chef by any measure - has turned to rural life. She is now a lamb farmer. With her wife Alex, they are Addington Downs, a small farm north of Melbourne. Why? What’s it like?

How can Australians be hungry when our country grows so much food? Kylea Tink was an independent MP in the previous term of parliament and she’s now the CEO of FoodBank, which distributes food to those doing it tough. FoodBank’s 2025 Hunger Report shares the shocking statistic that one in three Australian households experienced food insecurity in the past 12 months, with renters, the disabled and single parent households particularly vulnerable. It’s a hard read in the so-called lucky country but Kylea is full of ideas for change.

Just over five years ago when we started the podcast - the second on the Deep in the Weeds network - it was because there were stories that urgently needed to be told…so we got about it. More than 800 conversations later, we’re still here to show and share the power and possibilities of connecting around food. Thanks for being on the journey with us! Today’s guest digs into the essential but confusing and sometimes overwhelming issue of sustainability. Natalie Bolt (The Table Food Consultants) looks at people, planet and profit, and the easy wins that help the bottom line while also doing good. https://thetablefoodconsultants.com.au SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER FOR EXCLUSIVE ARTICLES, NEWS, GIVEAWAYS AND BEHIND THE SCENES https://deepintheweeds.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=d33e307cf7100cf947e2e6973&id=d17d8213f5 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.

Dirty Linen goes deep, both in conversations with individuals and in investigating pressing issues.  Dirty Linen is an Australian food podcast produced by the Deep in the Weeds Podcast Network. Simon Schulz is a third generation dairy farmer and processor in Timboon, in south-western Victoria. It’s been the driest two years on record and recent rain, though welcome, isn’t a total fix for the pasture or the business. Simon talks about the pressures on farmers, the lack of assistance and understanding from government and the importance of sharing tough realities with the public and customers of Schulz Organic Dairy.

Why isn’t access to nourishing food a priority at all levels of government?

]]> 1724 Grampians Wimmera Mallee Episode 2 - Robin Wickens (Wickens at the Royal Mail) - a complete and engaging dining experience At the southern end of the Grampians, chef Robin Wickens uses the Royal Mail’s market garden to supply produce for his pub bistro and fine dining restaurant Wickens, which is set in bushland in a glassed pavilion. We meet up with Robin for a garden tour, before heading back to the restaurant for a 10-course degustation with matched wines. Dinner is creative, exciting and fun, one of regional Australia’s most complete and engaging dining experiences. This episode is part of a special Dirty Linen series about the Grampians, Wimmera and Mallee regions in western Victoria. We drove the roads, saw the sights, said hello to the roos and emus, met the people, ate the food, drank the wine and generally soaked up the delights. Listen to more episodes about the Grampians Wimmera Mallee. We hope you’ll plan a trip to the region and listen to stories of this fun, fascinating part of the world as you travel.

]]> 1713 Joel Murray (Station Manager Westholme Wagyu) - nurturing cattle We’re heading to the rangelands of northern Australia today. Joel Murray is the station manager at Wylarah, a key cattle station for Westholme Wagyu.

]]> 1800 Virginia Trioli (Writer and Broadcaster) - what makes life delicious I first remember listening to Virginia Trioli on ABC Radio Melbourne when it was still called 774 and she was doing afternoons. It’s one of the earliest times I remember really listening to radio that wasn’t a football broadcast, engaging with that idea of live storytelling, carrying a city through its celebrations and its sadnesses, and asking questions that were sometimes cosy and sometimes very pointed of the guests.  Virginia Trioli is a two-time Walkley-winning journalist. She is the host of ABC TV’s Creative Types and a former host on News Breakfast. We find her today in a different mode: her memoir A Bit on the Side is a lovely pink hardcover book, a series of reflections on what makes life delicious. https://www.instagram.com/latrioli/?hl=en SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER FOR EXCLUSIVE ARTICLES, NEWS, GIVEAWAYS AND BEHIND THE SCENES https://deepintheweeds.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=d33e307cf7100cf947e2e6973&id=d17d8213f5 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.

]]> 1744 Kim Currie (The Zin House, Mudgee) - this particular moment in hospitality Last time we had Kim Currie on Dirty Linen, she spoke about her history in hospitality and the way she developed her vision for connected dining at The Zin House on Tinja Farm, near Mudgee in country New South Wales. This time, we returned to Wiradjuri country to eat the food of First Nations chef Jack Brown.

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?

]]> 3046 Jess Ribeiro (Musician) - Summer of Love 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.

As we've been asking if hospitality is broken, there's been a common refrain that restaurant groups have it easy, or at least easier. Today's guest is Ash Hicks, executive chef of Darling Group, which has a dozen or so venues in Victoria. What are the upsides and snags of being part of a group? Does money wash through the hallways? How do you build positive culture when each business is part of a larger whole?

We talk with Rosemary and John Portelli, the custodians of an import, wholesale and retail business founded by Rosemary’s father Gino Di Santo in 1953.  This is episode 2. From the beginning - whether it’s pasta or extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar or jarred artichokes, gorgeous risotto rice or a beautiful Valpolicello wine - Enoteca Sileno has honoured the farmers who grow and the artisans who make by carefully selecting, transporting and sharing tales of each product with their Australian customers.

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.

]]> 1627 The Producers Northern Tasmania Special Series Episode 3: Cynthea Semmens (Marion’s Vineyard) - the view in every bottle 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. https://marionsvineyard.com.au https://www.agricultured.com.au Follow The Producers on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/producerspodcast/ Host Dani Valent  https://www.instagram.com/danivalent Host Anthony Huckstep https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ Executive Producer Rob Locke https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork The Producers is a food podcast telling the stories of producers, farmers, growers and makers..

The restaurant is a dual showcase of Troy's wine and chef Sean Marshall's French-inspired food.

]]> 1765 Scott McCalman (Jedburgh Farming - Liverpool Plains) - focused and furious We continue our Fighting for the Liverpool Plains series in this discussion with fourth-generation farmer Scott McCalman. Noone has more reverence and deep knowledge about the black soil of this extraordinary growing region - how it came to be there, why it’s so precious, and how best to look after it for the benefit of farmers, eaters and the climate. Educated and forward-looking, Scott is using and caring for the land with an eye on the future. He’s furious with those motivated by short term gains. Just about everything we do at Dirty Linen and across the whole Deep in the Weeds food podcast network rests on farming. Without productive farmers we don’t have restaurants, we don’t have those resonant, connected stories of cuisine and culture that we love so much - and that we know you appreciate too. And fundamentally, without farmers, we don’t eat. It’s basic. We also know that we need to cease coal and gas mining because of the emissions they create. The science is unequivocal. The catastrophic climate risks are too great. The move to net zero makes allowances for legacy mining but it’s clear that any new coal or gas extraction tips into dangerous territory. Given all this, we are keeping a close eye on the Liverpool Plains, and the gas mining exploration licences held by energy giant Santos. Join us all week as we talk to people in the region who are likely to be impacted by any mining activities and are mobilising against them. What becomes clear in these conversations is that this is a local fight with broader implications. If you eat, if you live on Earth, this fight matters.  By the way, we’ve reached out to Santos for comment.

]]> 2198 Kate Gunn (Farmer, Merrivale Partnership) - a lot at stake Just about everything we do at Dirty Linen and across the whole Deep in the Weeds food podcast network rests on farming. Without productive farmers we don’t have restaurants, we don’t have those resonant, connected stories of cuisine and culture that we love so much - and that we know you appreciate too. And fundamentally, without farmers, we don’t eat. It’s basic. We also know that we need to cease coal and gas mining because of the emissions they create. The science is unequivocal. The catastrophic climate risks are too great. The move to net zero makes allowances for legacy mining but it’s clear that any new coal or gas extraction tips into dangerous territory. Given all this, we are keeping a close eye on the Liverpool Plains, and the gas mining exploration licences held by energy giant Santos. Join us all week as we talk to people in the region who are likely to be impacted by any mining activities and are mobilising against them. What becomes clear in these conversations is that this is a local fight with broader implications. If you eat, if you live on Earth, this fight matters.    By the way, we’ve reached out to Santos for comment. We look forward to a response. Our first guest is Kate Gunn, generational farmer and Chair of Liverpool Plains Action Group. Kate gives us an overview of the region as a food bowl and series of connected communities. She talks about what’s at stake and why she’s throwing herself into activism. https://www.facebook.com/liverpoolplainsag/ 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.

]]> 1865 The Producers: Gerardo Lopez (La Tortilleria) - pride, commitment and the joys of maize In 2012, the Australian culinary landscape was experiencing a Mexican food wave. But there were a few things missing. Mexican-born Gerardo Lopez especially lamented the lack of traditional corn tortillas.

Today's guest is Restaurant Manager Rajnor Soin, who came five years ago for six months and somehow hasn't been able to leave. We talk about the art of looking after guests, even when they are a fluffy little sheep.

]]> 1352 Hugh Allen (Executive Chef, Vue De Monde) - our 500th episode. We’ve done 500 episodes of Dirty Linen! To celebrate, we’re spending time at a restaurant that’s been a special place for Melbourne milestones for more than 20 years. Vue de monde was founded by a fiercely ambitious Shannon Bennett in 2000. From its beginnings in a quirky terrace in Carlton, it moved first to Normanby Chambers in the city and then in 2011 to its current home on level 55 of the Rialto Towers. Our first guest is executive chef Hugh Allen, who first worked at the restaurant as a 16-year-old apprentice, and returned after three years at Noma in 2018 to be promoted to lead the kitchen when he was just 23. This is the first of nine episodes that will give a rounded portrait of a restaurant that’s been both lauded and controversial over two decades. We are marking Vue de monde, but we’re also marking a podcast anniversary.  Thank you to every single guest who has trusted us with their story. Thank you to every listener who has blessed us with their time and attention. Thank you to executive producer Rob Locke, who founded the Deep in the Weeds network with Anthony Huckstep.

]]> 1337 Phil McAdam (Sardine Fisher, Port Phillip Bay) - passionate, knowledgeable and distressed 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 Tue, 22 Mar 2022 17:00:00 -0000 full 1 399 A Deep in the Weeds Production Today Dirty Linen embarks on a special series focusing on fishing in Port Phillip Bay, the vast body of water that shapes Melbourne.

When thinking about the future, it's great to get some perspective from the past.

His new eatery, Stella's Kitchen at Montague apple farm on Melbourne's fringe is the model of a flexible forward-looking multi-pronged operation. We also look back: Adam grew up in Melbourne restaurants from the 1960s; he weathered the 1980s recession, the end of Fringe Benefits Tax and the introduction of GST.

]]> 1877 Di Keser (Hardware Societe) - it's OK not to be OK. LOCKDOWN #3 Last time we spoke to Di Keser, she was bunkered down in Barcelona with her husband and dogs. Today she's locked down in Melbourne, having just completed hotel quarantine in Adelaide, then flying home and making the tough decision to close one of her two Hardware Societe city cafes.

We focus on staffing in this episode, an instant crisis as Melbourne restaurants reopen with a much smaller pool of potential employees to draw on.

]]> 1296 Alla Wolf-Tasker (Lake House, Daylesford) - Keeping the wolf from the door. We start the podcast by talking to hugely respected and influential regional restaurateur Alla Wolf-Tasker from the Lake House in Daylesford..It's a deep chat that covers the recent headspin but also dives into the art of hospitality and why you'd do it anyway, when compliance is so challenging and profits are slim. Dirty Linen covers the issues the hospitality industry finds hard to share in public - industrial relations, business models, mental health, dirty words like profit - it’s all up for grabs and everything is on the table. We're launching with 'when the rules change', bouncing off the announcement by Victorian Premier Dan Andrews on Saturday June 20 that restaurants in his state were not going to be able to increase numbers from 20 to 50 diners per enclosed space. There were just too many new coronavirus cases to risk it. Restaurants were devastated. Staff had been rostered, produce purchased, bookings taken, prep commenced. Is this the curveball that sends some restaurants to the wall? And is Victoria's curveball likely to be thrown about in other states, as restrictions ease and case numbers rise? Your host is food journalist Dani Valent. Dirty Linen sticks to one topic for a week, exploring via interviews with key players who have different perspectives. We also invite those with compelling additions to put themselves forward for supplementary episodes. It’s a unique structure for a unique industry. Dirty Linen is a Deep in the Weeds Production.
