Shaun Quade ditched fine dining to manufacture vegan cheese in the US. It was...challenging. He's back in Australia after four years in Silicon Valley with a renewed appetite for restaurants and will soon launch Ballyhoo at The Lawns of the Lobby in Canberra. We talk about Lume - was it a vanity project? where is the interection of art and food? - and the dangers of burn out. Shaun has also learnt much about factory food: we talk about missteps in feeding the planet.
