  • Michael 'Doc' Weldon | Food for Thought podcast Episode 12
    Aug 1 2024

    Michael ‘Doc’ Weldon is a food celebrity originally from South Australia. First appearing on the Masterchef series in 2011, Michael is now a regular food host on the long-running, household renowned ‘Sunrise’ morning TV show. Doc also hosts his own network TV-show, ‘Farm to Fork’ amongst many other strings to his talented bow.

    Doc’s passion for food has taken him all across the globe - to the likes of India, South-East Asia and the UK - and we were lucky enough to have him in our very own 'me&u-HQ' Collingwood nest for a bit of roast, if you will.

    We were delighted to be able to pick Michael's brain about his early life, work in television, the Masterchef experience and 'that time' he tore his bicep playing a basic forward-defensive cricket stroke. We hear about Doc's favourite places to dine out, where he sees food trends heading in 2024, Aus Hospo T-shirt Day and ALL while he walks us through some cheeky little snack ideas, too!

  • Dan Leuzzi & Tom Giurioli | Founders, Freddy's & Tommy's Booze
    Aug 13 2023

    Meet the dynamic duo winning over the hearts and stomachs of Melbourne – Dan Leuzzi and Tom Giurioli. Co-founders of Freddy's, the self-described "friendly neighbourhood pizzeria" and Tommy's Booze, giving their take on Limoncello and surrounding liqueurs straight from Nonna's recipe book.

    We spoke all things from: The Australian Government’s love of taxation, growing up around Italian food culture, signing leases without trying your head chef’s dishes, and the beautiful simplicity of making limoncello. We had a blast chatting with and learning from these two, and highly recommend listening over a swig, or two, of Limoncello.
