Meet The Chefs episodes

  • Meet The Chefs - Running Vienna's oldest coffee house - Ferdinand Querfeld (Café Landtmann, Vienna)

    Welcome back to another episode of Meet The Chefs! Another day and another country as I sit down with Ferdinand at one of Vienna's most historic coffee houses. 150 years old, Café Landtmann has been frequented by the likes of Sigmund Freud, and visited by Paul McCartney and Hilary Clinton. It's one of the most famous institutions in Vienna and it was fascinating to sit down with Ferdinand, part of the family's third generation who heads up Landtmann Das Bootshaus. We chat all things Landtmann, Vienna, Strudel, and the challenges of adapting from the world of rowing to running a restaurant.

    Be sure to check out the full article on the Landtmann and other Vienna spots when they go live on my website www.olieatsitall.wordpress.com and be sure to subscribe and check out the Instagram https://www.instagram.com/olieatsitall/ for more!

  • Meet The Chefs - Building a dream restaurant - Matt Worswick (The Cliff, Barbados)

    Welcome back to 'Meet The Chefs'! This is an entirely different episode as I sit down in the Caribbean with Matt Worswick. Matt has been on a really extraordinary journey and now finds himself running one of the most extraordinary restaurant groups I have ever encountered. That is headlined by 'The Cliff', the embodiment of 'no expense spared' in a restaurant.

  • Oxford Eats - Ep.19. - Gatineau Artisan Patisserie & Bakery

    Hello and welcome back to Oxford Eats! Today I'm back at Hervé Gatineau bakery and patisserie in Summertown. I wrote a full article on the cafe there a couple of months ago that you can read here (https://cherwell.org/2023/04/30/herve-gatineau-review/) and it was great to meet up again with Debra. This podcast is another fascinating insight into the Oxford food community. Even more than that though, be sure to listen in and hear about just how taxing and detailed the process of making baguettes and croissants is! Debra has done every role at the bakery so really covers a lot of ground - Enjoy!

  • Meet The Chefs - Ep.8 - Chet Sharma (BiBi)

    Hello and welcome back to Meet the Chefs.  Today, I’m chatting with Chet Sharma.  Chet has been on an unconventional and winding culinary journey and is now the head chef at Bibi in Mayfair.  The high-end Indian restaurant has been recognised repeatedly as among the top 100 in the UK and has firmly established itself as one of the places to dine in the capital.  Chet has friends across the industry too and I’ve left in a section where a gift arrives, hand-delivered, from Fallow!  I hope that you enjoy our chat…

  • Oxford Eats - Ep.17. - Barefoot Bakery

    Hello and welcome back to Oxford Eats.  Today, we visited the Oxford famous Barefoot Bakery in Jericho.  We sat down with the two founders and owners and chatted about all things cakes, bakes, and drinks.  This conversation is so good because it really is all-encompassing and focuses on everything from the business’ beginnings to its organic growth and the struggles of recent inflation across the board.  As you’ll hear, there is an incredibly strong ethos right at the heart of everything at Barefoot and they have built a quite remarkable local community.  Sit back, grab a brownie, and enjoy!

  • Meet The Chefs - Ep.7. - Eran Tibi (Bala Baya and Kapara)

    Hello and welcome back to Meet The Chefs.  Today I’m joined by Eran Tibi - a chef who has been on a fascinating and unconventional journey.  After a career in marketing, he felt unfulfilled and retrained in gastronomy before working at Ottolenghi.  Then, he went it alone and has created his very own ‘Tel Aviv Fantasy’ at Bala Baya in Southwark.  Listen out for Eran’s ethos - it’s all about a crazy mix of flavours that shouldn’t work but boy oh boy they do.  The prawns I had today was one of the craziest I’ve ever had so sit back and enjoy.

  • Oxford Eats - Ep.14. - Burnout BBQ
    Today I paid a trip to Burnout BBQ in Summertown and sat down with co-owners Thomas and Malcom to chat about the amazing site that they have created here.  Originally a street food business, during COVID they saw a chance and exploited a gap in the market for authentically American BBQ.  The result is a love letter to all the US with Brisket, burnt ends, hot dogs, cheesesteaks, wings, floats, and any kind of food you can imagine.  The atmosphere inside matches it too so sit back and listen to the sheer passion of these two and the success of their American dream. Be sure to check out the Instagram olieatsitall for more photos of all the crazy dishes I tried and subscribe so that you don’t miss any episodes of Meet the Chefs!
