Dietary Requirements is The Spinoff’s monthly podcast in which we eat, drink and talk about it too, with special thanks to Freedom Farms.

This month, old mate Henry Oliver – former Spinoffer and current editor of Metro magazine – joins us in the studio for a post-mortem of Monday night's Metro Restaurant of the Year Awards.

Feeling a touch jaded after celebrating Auckland's best restaurants perhaps a little too enthusiastically at the Negroni-laden town hall, we talk ins and outs, highs and lows, winners and losers and angry emailers over our favourite hangover cures – pimped instant noodles, cold pizza, and bloody Marys, the recipe for which was kindly shared by Melissa Morrow of Ponsonby Road Bistro, which won best drinks list at the awards.

Plus, Sophie tries her very first ever Cheezel live on air.
