In the debut episode of The Local Palate, Cam O’Keefe sits down with Torquay chef and restaurateur Graham Jefferies, the force behind the reinvented Samesyn 2.0.

From a kitchen with no bin to a menu built on rescued ingredients, Graham shares how a post-pandemic pivot led to a bold new purpose. He opens up about food waste, sustainability, partnering with Feed Me, and how his small team of chefs now runs the entire dining experience from prep to plating to pouring the wine.

It’s a story of local flavour, global thinking and the unexpected power of a shared mission.
