We chat about the journey behind Into Carry and Into Coffee, exploring Luke’s background, his passion for design and how his brands are making a meaningful impact in the local community. Luke shares insights on the challenges of running a sustainable business, his 'environmental awakening', and what the future holds in terms of reducing waste and promoting circular economies.Thank you for listening!

Charlie Lehmann is notorious for his outspoken personality on social media and in person he did not disappoint. As a university student, Charlie thought to himself that "getting people pissed" would be much more fun and drawing inspiration from the bar he worked at, started Ramblin Rascal with his best friends Sebastian Soto and Dardan Shervashidze at the age of 25.
Ramblin Rascal has won multiple awards and Charlie's other venture Double Deuce Lounge has just won Bar of the Year for 2025 according to the AGFG.
We get stuck into it, talking about growing up poor, working from a young age, owning a successful bar for many years and how his approach to the job has to change sometimes.
Charlie is nothing short of a colourful character, and we can guarantee you will get something out of this one, even if it's just a laugh.Thank you for listening! We are so grateful we get to do this thing and it really means the world to us to have supporters like yourself listening in.

An exciting podcast with an exciting person, Kay-Lene Tan is every bit as charming, funny and bubbly as she appears in the media. It was such a good time filming this one with a no filter approach and plenty of vulnerability she took us on a journey through her childhood, growing up in Singapore and how it influenced her career. Transitioning from an amateur documentary filmmaker to a chef at the age of 25, Kay-Lene then trained at Singapore’s At-Sunrice GlobalChef Academy and quickly advanced through acclaimed kitchens, including Joël Robuchon's restaurant in Singapore and The European in Melbourne. She has appeared on the Dessert Masters edition of Master Chef and is now the executive pastry chef at Omnia Bistro and Yugen Dining.

A moving, insightful, fun and entertaining chat all rolled into one. Chatting to Guy was spectacular, he has so much to talk about, acquiring a great deal of life experience throughout his years as a chef and restaurateur. Guy grew up in an Italian immigrant household and was inspired by his father (a chef), working in restaurants from a very young age. He then went on to study chefing and opened his first restaurant in 1986. This began his now renowned career as a restaurateur and what would become the Grossi owned restaurants and bars that we know today. We talk about everything, the ups and downs of running a business, bouncing back from hardship and Guy's intimate relationship with his Italian heritage. This episode almost bought us to tears, we will leave it there.

This was by far one of the most interesting episodes we shot, Lachie's story is truly remarkable, full of emotion, challenges and inspiration a truly unique listen. He started out as a chef at the age of just 13 after getting expelled from boarding school for getting into fights and taking down bullies. He then trained under one of the best chefs in Australia at the time, before heading to London at 16 to train at one of Marco Pierre White's establishments and the story only gets more exciting from there. We get stuck into everything from family to living on your own from the age of 13 and the type of person you become. The challenges of cheffing, the passion that drives Lachlan and how he ended up as a scuba instructor at one point of his life, this episode has it all.

You have never heard people speak with passion like this, the two brothers Blayne & Chayse Bertoncello from the famous O.MY Restaurant have an incredible story, starting their now famous fine diner out in Beaconsfield at the tender ages of 23 and 19 respectively, after a self discovery trip to Europe. All the produce they use in their menu comes from a personal farm just 10 minutes from the restaurant that is maintained by the team at the restaurant and led by head chef Blayne. Brother Chayse (Chugga) won Sommelier Of The Year in 2023 and he explains how he had no formal training or great knowledge of wine before experimenting at O.MY, where he discovered he had an uncanny natural talent that flourished into his expertise. We get deep about why the brothers started this whole thing, how the burning down of their original location affected them and how to build a community that are willing to help out.
