In this episode, we meet Bob, the chef-turned-entrepreneur behind three much loved food venues across the Mornington Peninsula. What started with a tiny backstreet café bought off Gumtree has grown into a trio of venues with loyal followings. Each with its own personality, but all grounded in handmade quality, strong community ties and a genuine love of the region.

From lockdown tacos and gold-medal sausage rolls to zero food waste and staff who’ve stayed for nearly a decade, Bob’s story is one of creativity, resilience and growth. We talk pies, local sourcing, coffee grounds for worm farms and how winter wanderers help keep business thriving year-round.
