  • The Producers: Robert Jones (Tuki) - diversification is key

    The Producers: Robert Jones (Tuki) - diversification is key
    May 13 2024
    Robert Jones was born on Stoney Rises, the third generation on his family’s sheep farm in central Victoria. In 1985, he saw the need for diversification in a traditional livestock enterprise so he launched Tuki, a trout fishing venue where visitors could come to catch a fish and - if they wanted - have it cooked for them on the property. Nearly 40 years later, Tuki is a restaurant, farm and accommodation destination, with an exciting new dining chapter underway. https://tuki.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 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..

    Dani's Friday On My Mind - some thoughts flying around my head

    Anjali Ganapathy (Pig Out) - Kodava meal experiences
    Apr 28 2024
    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.

    Martin Boetz (Shortgrain, Brisbane) - how is Marty going now?
    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.
