  • Summary

  • 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. Dirty Linen is a Deep in the Weeds Production.

    Apr 23 2024
    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.

    Paul Pitcher (The Woodhouse, Bendigo) - is hospitality broken?
    Apr 21 2024
    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.

    Eloise Emmett (Little Norfolk Bay Bistro and Chalets, Tasmania) - keeping tourism revenue local
    Apr 16 2024
    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.
