Dirty Linen - A Food Podcast with Dani Valent

A Deep in the Weeds Production

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.

The Australian hospitality industry creates over 1.2 million tonnes of food waste every year or 16% of Australia’s food waste.

Dee Yürür (Chef) - visa running out fast
International workers and students are often presented as statistics but they are, of course, real people having real lives, and often their uncertain status and lack of local knowledge means they work in conditions that Australians wouldn’t put up with.

Laura Drexler (Ambient Menu) - ‘hearing friendly’ restaurants
Who loves shouting at their dining companions in noisy restaurants? South Australian audiologist and occupational noise assessor Laura Drexler has created the Ambient Menu, a guide to quiet restaurants. With one in six Australians having an issue with their hearing, knowing which restaurants are relatively quiet can be the difference between feeling part of the gang or being socially isolated. Having a ‘hearing friendly’ restaurant can also be good for business, with thousands of Google searches a month for ‘quiet restaurants’. https://theambientmenu.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.
