I have officially moved back to the USofA after being in New Zealand for 10 years. What better way to fight jet-lag than with a brand new episode?!
Where do we draw the line with coffee trends?!
Jalapeños, orange juice, olive oil, hot sauce... I just saw a video this morning on Parmesan cheese in coffee?! Come onnnn. We want the channel growths, but at what cost?
What a time to be alive in the world of coffee content. Social media can be a real b when you’re trying to keep up with the trends while growing your channel in an authentic way. EVEN HARDER WHEN WE HAVE ROBOTS MAKING COFFEES! Cheers Cafe X- (I tried it in San Fran… let’s talk 😬)
An Aeropress at Cinderella’s Castle airs tonight (Friday, 7pm EST 🇺🇸 / Saturday, 11am NZT🇳🇿 ) where we talk all things content creation, the struggle to find a new coffee and oat milk dealer, how to pack coffee gear when you’re travelling internationally (I can recommend socks in your chemex) coffee robots in San Francisco, and some exciting announcements for HB!

Chef attends sushi chef institute in California - opens up pop up in Hamburg. A love story about cooking, spearfishing, building a better life, and travelling - all while being in a travelling kitchen.
It's 2023, toxic kitchen vibes are out. Being drunk on a chartered yacht and yelling at your chef to bake you a cake - out. Taking a phone call before walking into a cafe and ignoring your barista - bye bye. Coffee robots taking over the world, pouring swans and 70 tiered rosettas and tulips - giving baristas the boot? Please no.
Perhaps 2023 is the year of reflection, hitting the pause button to revaluate, reassess and address. Identify the gaps, hype yourself up, and lean into your skills and interests to add value in an automised and bland world. Spice it up.
Hubert and I cover a lot in this second part of our podcast episode: how to let go of fear and pursue your passion, how to do your part by living a more sustainable life when it comes to food, the importance of storytelling and sharing your journey, aannndddd- let's talk about working in restaurants and living our best life.

"People will always eat and drink, no matter where you are. If you take that into perspective and offer hospitality all around the world from different cultures, you can use it anywhere you want."
Hubert is a multifaceted chef who has worked here there and everywhere. Starting at an apprenticeship in Hamburg from 18-21, he formed a high standard and tempo, and a resilience from working in such an intense environment. Since then, he's worked everywhere from fine dining, casual dining, private cheffing at the Australian Grand Prix, working on pearl boats, lobster picking in Chatham Islands, private cheffing on yachts, becoming a professional spear fisherman and chartering spear fishing adventures in Indo, and adapting a new tranquil approach to his hospo career. His latest achievement was completing sushi making education and mastering Japanese cuisine at the Sushi Chef Institute in California led by Chef Andy Matsuda. All of these components have led into the creation of his brand and business: Sushybyhu.
In this first part, Hu takes us through his history and backstory on how he was able to travel the world with practically nothing, and still find himself cheffing in some amazing places. We'll touch on Sushibyhu, creating content, and as always, why we love hospo.
Be sure to tune into Part 2 of this episode on Friday Jan 27 at 1pm EST. If you'd like to watch the full YouTube video of this interview, head to the link below.

Picture this: you've tripped and fallen down the rabbit hole and landed in a world of vintage and nostalgia. Welcome to an uncensored chat about lifelong passions with my fellow gal pal and girl boss, Zoe McNicholas. Zoe is a creative at the core. With an eye for detail and appreciation for design history, she's landed herself in the world of art direction and vintage curation. Her brand YOHOZO, which has just turned 2 by the way (happy birthday!) is a self-described rabbit hole that leads to weird & wonderful, kitsch vintage pieces - a true wonderland of sorts where eras fade and style is everlasting.
We collided worlds because we are both lovers of nostalgia and can relate on the thrills and struggles of thriving outside of your 9-5 and following your dreams. We're just two gals who were born in the wrong time, having a hilarious and honest chat about embracing authenticity, trying to grow in the world of social media, and sharing the love on all things Vintage. Thanks for tuning in!

On this episode of the Hospo Bimbo Podcast- let's dial in from the backseat of an Audi A3 and do a quick skim on some weird yet interesting differences between NZ and USA hospo. Bass Pro Shops apparently have restaurants inside of them and one of them is called Uncle Buck's that has 12 lanes of bowling and serves Crab Legs. Who is dining here? Sausage sizzles are not porn shops. Also, find out why I can no longer drink coffees from a french press... #plunger

Albert has a severe love for coffee which has led him to open up a coffee shop : Daily Daily. I don't even like calling it a 'coffee shop' because the name alone feels unjust. Walking into Daily Daily, you feel an instant wave of tranquility wash over you. It's one of the few places in Auckland that prides themselves on bringing in imported coffee from all over the world. He's also created a super warm and inviting space with the idea of giving him a place to come in after dentistry, to relax and make coffee. Sounds dreamy, right? It is.
Albert is also a dentist! How this man finds the time to do both - is beyond me, but it sounds like he's got a daily routine that i'm pretty jealous of.
Albert and I talk about the coffee culture differences between New Zealand, Taiwan, and America, and we both fan girl over some of the coffees he's bringing in from overseas. We discuss how coffee brings people together, and discuss the importance of making people at all levels feel welcome when it comes to specialty coffee.
Be sure to check out Daily Daily, located at 452 Karangahape Road.
PS. He's about to bring in some Onyx Coffee Lab, so.. better get in quick to snag a brew!

A bite that takes you home. Danielle is the owner/operator of The Pie Piper - an amazing pie and desert shop located at 3/321 Karangahape Road.
I think we clicked straight away because, ya know, we're American, and we both love diners and desserts.
Danielle and I talk about the importance of the diner, how kiwis don't like sweet pies, and what makes K Road so special. There's also lots of nostalgic chat about America and what we miss about home. Danielle also does Thanksgiving takeaway dinners so - get your orders in!
Go check her out, get the bacon maple bar or the loaded mac and cheese.

James is the head chef of Sneaky Snacky - home of the Wagyu Donut Burger. This Korean-fusion spot is not just aesthetic for your eyeballs, but a place where you put on some kitchen gloves, and eat a burger that should be consumed behind closed doors.
We all know that salty and sweet can make a beautiful combo, but this really spices things up. I can say from experience - I had the chicken donut burger, and it was insane.
James and I chat all things hospo - how he went from not knowing how to cook an egg, to working as a chef at Sugar Club, to now head cheffing at Sneaky Snacky.
Buckle up, we may or may not get a little drunk. Be sure to check out Sneaky Snacky, located at 184 Karangahape Road. And be sure to check out the video trailer to this series by clicking here.

Renee is the owner of Coco's Cantina - a super iconic restaurant on Karangahape Road. Think - Italian food meets fever dream.. but in a damn good way. Throughout all of my interviews, Coco's Cantina has been brought up multiple times for Damaris and Renee's hospitable vibes, and the care and love they share to their community.
There is no place like Coco's and you can't beat this place on a Friday night for Happy Hour. Renee and I chat about how she found herself in hospo at 15, and stuck with it. At first it was a way to buy a pair of Dr. Martens, and she was pleasantly surprised to find she had fallen in love with the industry. The common long-lasting love affair that is hospo.
