Jenna Abbruzzese (Addington Downs) - the emotional connection to food production
Dirty Linen - A Food Podcast with Dani ValentShow Notes
We’re back with chef and lamb farmer Jenna Abbruzzese from Addington Downs as part of an ongoing Dirty Linen series. Since we spoke last time, Dani has eaten some of Jenna’s lamb. What’s it like to cook and eat an animal that you’ve seen frolic around on Instagram, that has a name, and that died to be your dinner?

More from Dirty Linen - A Food Podcast with Dani Valent
It's not easy opening a small business in a new town, especially when you are a chef-turned-waiter and sommelier. How is Galia Valadez managing the journey at Barro, the Mexican wine bar she's running in Adelaide with her husband Alejandro Huerta? As part of Dirty Linen's state of hospitality series, we talk culture, money, producers and emotion.
With more than 20 years cooking experience, Sam Homan is now executive chef at Joseph’s, a contemporary but grand restaurant at Werribee Park, outside Melbourne. We talk about an industry in transition: punishing long hours have been reined in but that makes it hard to skill up young chefs, even if they’re keen. What to do?
What's the future of the independent neighbourhood bar, bistro or cafe? How resilient are small local businesses in today's hospitality industry? We talk it through with Ali Currey-Voumard, owner and chef at Table Bar & Bistro in Castlemaine, a regional restaurant in a record store.
Is it ever not crunch time in hospitality?
