The Pass | Australia’s newest food podcast

Side orders, like any good dish, accompany’s the main course, so put an order in and download to find out about Matt’s first ever job at his local RSL, his first fine dining job interview and what he had to do to secure it. Also in Matt’s Side Orders, Matt takes us on a tour of his local hood and gives us the lowdown on the chef institution that is Golden Century.

So how did the boy from Blacktown go from working the grill at the local RSL to running a restaurant empire and being a household name? And where does he eat? We meet Australian celebrity chef Matt Moran in his home suburb Bronte and visit his favourite local. We learn about his favourite places to eat, the reinvention of his “baby” Aria restuarant, his run in with Tony Soprano, and what he really thinks about reviews. The Pass then takes the Banksy of the food world, London’s insta-blogging sensation @Clerkenwellboyec1 under the grill, revealing everything from his weirdest food experience to why he’s stayed anonymous.

Fried chicken is so hot right now. We chat to the man behind arguably Australia’s best fried chook, Belle’s Hot Chicken. Chef Morgan McGlone is that guy who knows everyone and always has an amazing story to tell. He takes us to one of his favourite places to eat, and reveals how he went from fine dining to being a model manager in New York (working with Gisele, Naomi and Miranda). We then head to Singapore and one of the world’s hottest chefs, David Pynt from Burnt Ends. Having done time at restaurants like Noma and Etxebarri, Pynt is renowned for his skill in cooking with fire, and reveals his favourite street stall and the food he can’t stomach.
