When he is not belting out Frank Sinatra tunes on stage around the concert halls of Australia, Tom Burlinson is being stopped on the street by Aussies who remember him fondly as The Man from Snowy River, a movie role that changed his life.

Tom shares his behind the scenes memories of an amazing time for him and for Australian cinema. He talks music, coffee, his role in the family kitchen and his latest acting role in a locallly made horror flick. 

The Food Poll is a four and plenty pie off. Leading this swinging quartet of pastry bound delights is apple pie, chicken and leek pie, Shepherds pie and pumpkin pie. What wins the day? 

And thanks to this week's Food Poll, 'It's Showtime' for Frank (Lesiputty, not Sinatra), who shares his rendition of one of the classics (pies, not songs!)

Annette Allison brought the sunshine of Brisbane to the television screens of Melbourne and beyond in a career than spanned decades and many and varied roles.

Fondly remembered for hosting Channel 10's Good Morning Melbourne and for a time the nightly news, Annette also interviewed the creme de la creme of visiting celebrities. When they didn't come here, she went to them, as she reminisces about the French jaunt to chat to His Royal Highness the Aga Khan and fly on his personal jet. 

Another colourful 'royal' Annette recalls dearly was the man behind the television show King's Kitchen - the late, great Bernard King, a longtime friend from her Brisbane days. Annette gifts us one of Bernard's showstopping recipes for inclusion for our It's Showtime segment and it's a gift that will keep on giving. 

Our Food Poll drips with nostalgia as we head to the refrigerated section and ask which of four classic ice cream favourites is your favourite. You can only pick one and the nominees are Barney Banana, Choc Wedge, Golden Gaytime or the Drumstick.

Celebrity chef, author and a man who has travelled the world plying his trade, Tobie Puttock is our guest this week and the kitchen is a space that brings him both passion and pain.

While he can whip up a five star meal that will blow your taste buds away, Tobie is on a mission to eradicate the enormous amount of food we waste every single day, and it starts in our own kitchens.

Tobie takes us on his amazing food journey, from the early days in a Carlton cafe cooking calamari to opening restaurants with Jamie Oliver, and now - reinventing what might be thrown out into a sustainable and practical pantry staple. Making a difference is not rocket science nor brain surgery, and Tobie shares tips on what we can all do.

The Food Poll this week is full of fatty, buttery goodness. Or is it? What's your take on the humble avocado?

Our guest this week is Stephen Comey, one of the heart throbs of eighties television in Australia when he starred as Kevin Palmer in the long running super soap Sons and Daughters.

Thesedays, Steve still treads the boards occasionally but has carved out a long and successful career in event management. We reminisce about those heady days of TV glory - from winning a Logie to recording an album and even being in the Guinness Book of Records. 

The Food Poll this week is from left of centre and head over apex as we pit apple strudel against the wonderfully retro pineapple upside down cake.
