This week Scott is joined by chef Steven Halcrow — a long-time friend from the early stand-up comedy circuit who took a very different path.

After leaving comedy behind, Steven travelled the world working in professional kitchens, including time in Michelin-star restaurants, before eventually building a food tour business in Cambodia.

In this episode we get into:

🍜 Life working in professional kitchens
🌏 Travelling the world as a chef
🇰🇭 The reality of living in Cambodia
🐸 Cambodian street food (including frogs and tarantulas)
🧠 Culture shock and language barriers
🍽 Running food tours for tourists
⭐ Working in Michelin restaurants
📱 The rise of food influencers and Instagram food culture

It’s a fascinating conversation about food, travel, culture, and the madness of the hospitality industry.

This is the Council Section of the episode.

The full extended conversation — including the story of “special meat” in Cambodia — is available only for Hashtag Heroes on Patreon.
