Suncoast Fresh Prodcast

It’s easy to tell when you come across a genuinely good person, and Tarzan from Survivor is definitely one of those people. Did I mention he also grows beautiful limes for Suncoast Fresh? Tarzan is an absolute character and as a fan of both Survivor and his amazing limes, it was so much fun to sit down to get to know him. I know you’ll enjoy this one!

Matt Moran is an Aussie Icon in the culinary scene, and an all round fantastic guy. Matt’s story reads like the quintessential Australian dream and has taken him from humble beginnings in Blacktown, to the glitz and glamour of Barangaroo. Despite facing early challenges, he found a way to succeed through hard work and perseverance. We also chat about his friendships with Anthony Bourdain and Gordon Ramsey, and the influence these great chefs continue to have on his life. This is an episode not to miss, and it was a real treat to sit down and hear about his amazing life. Enjoy!

Guillaume Zika is the head Chef and opener at the amazing Burleigh Pavilion. Since day one the 'Pav' has had a lineup around the corner and he tells me the success is due to a few things: accessibility, building the right concept and of course his beautiful menu. Guillaume has had a really interesting life and it was awesome to hear how his travels have influenced his work at the Burleigh Pavilion. Enjoy!

Palm Cove in far North Queensland is a hidden gem that’s at ease in its own skin, just like Nick Holloway. Nick is the head Chef at Nu Nu, and I was lucky enough to sit down at his amazing restaurant for what I think was one of my favourite episode’s yet. In the industry, you hear a lot about the importance of authenticity, and Nick embodies what it means to be authentic. I can’t thank Nick enough for this one, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Peter from Fruit Forest Farm is one of the most amazing tropical fruit growers in the country. We were lucky enough to take a tour of his beautiful farm before recording and I was blown away. To Peter his farm isn’t just work, it’s a lifestyle and a passion. I was honoured to speak with such a knowledgeable grower who really loves what he does. Enjoy!

Louis Tikaram is a rock star. He’s the head chef at the two-storey waterfront eatery, Stanley. A Cantonese style restaurant and Brisbane’s latest addition to the Howard Smith Wharves. Louis has travelled the world and worked in some of the world’s best restaurants. His hard work has taken him from the Tweed Valley to the world stage and back again.

Can’t wait to get into this one, enjoy!

Becky and her family from the Big Hear Bamboo Farm at Eumundi are pioneers in the Industry.⁠

Matt Golinski is one of Australia’s best Chefs and people in my opinion, so I was honoured to have him on the Prodcast.  Matt has had an amazing journey on his way to the top, which has included a whole bunch of ups and downs along the way. His life is as inspirational as it gets, and it was an absolute pleasure to chat with him on this episode of the Prodcast. As always if you haven’t already done it, make sure you subscribe to the Suncoast Fresh Prodcast. Enjoy!

If you've ever thought about how the wonderful world of mushrooms works, from the way they’re grown to why certain varieties love the Australian climate, then this is the Prodcast for you. I was lucky enough to sit down with Abel from The Shroom Brothers who supply totally organic, spray free and delicious mushrooms that are really difficult to come by. Who knew that organic coffee grounds from the local cold brew company could work wonders for mushrooms. Enjoy!
