Episode #21

Meet Jonny Pisanelli - Owner of Adelaides best bakery...Abbots and Kinney.

After studying for 6 months at a Pastry school 20 year old Jonny felt he was limited in Adelaide, so decided to fly to Italy to work in the best bakeries. For free!

He returned to Adelaide and started selling his bread and pastries out of his van on the side of the road, he knew he had something special so started selling at the farmers makers every weekend. He would sell out within a few hours!

Jonny then opened his first Abbots and Kinney store in June 2015 in the CBD of Adelaide, where he baked every morning from the small on-site kitchen, it didn’t take long for him to outgrow that space. He now has 4 stores and another opening this week.

They have also been named in the Qantas Travel Insider as one of the top 23 bakeries in the world.

I was lucky enough to visit Jonny in Adelaide just before their second lockdown. Once I reached out to him, he was more then happy to share his knowledge and spent several hours answering all the annoying questions that I like to ask. Thanks Jonny!
