The Mitchen with Andrew Levins and Mitch Orr

Levins was in Melbourne the night Trump won the election so he got tanked at Bar Liberty and went back the next afternoon for a chat with owners Banjo Harris Plane and Michael Bascetta. The pair met years ago while working at Attica and opened the significantly more casual Bar Liberty earlier this year. We chat about their beginnings, collaborating, what Sydney has that Melbourne doesn't (and vice versa), and heaps more. -- The Mitchen is a podcast about food in Sydney, hosted by Andrew Levins and Mitch Orr.

While in Hobart, Levins visits two of the most beloved figures in the Australian food scene - Sue Dyson and Roger McShane. Best known for importing French natural wines through their business Living Wines, Sue and Roger have been writing about food and wine for 30 years, for almost every publication, including Gourmet Traveller (they were the Tasmanian editors for years) and their own website, Food Tourist, one of the earliest Australian food websites, predating the blog boom. Find out how Sue and Roger got started writing about food, why they're drawn to natural wines and how they avoid stale tastes and opinions as they get older. - The Mitchen is a podcast about food in Sydney, hosted by Andrew Levins and Mitch Orr.

Levins sat down with Tom Lawrence from Proudly Pokies Free, a new youth focused campaign which raises awareness about the damage caused by the pokies in Australia. NSW has 50% of Australia's pokies, and you'd be surprised just how many venues (and restaurants) you visit regularly that still have rooms filled with them. Getting rid of pokies means more room for food and live entertainment.

On a late Monday night at The Dolphin Hotel, Levins strikes up a conversation with Monty Koludrovic (Icebergs) and Morgan McGlone (Belle's Hot Chicken, Harpoon Harry), plus visitors from Yardbird in Hong Kong, head chef Matt Abergel and beverage director Elliot Faber.  In what may be the rowdiest episode of The Mitchen yet, we discuss raw chicken, bulldog jizz, head to tail eating around the globe and yakitori techniques. We are also collectively responsible for dropping the c-bomb more times in one podcast than ever before probably.
