Rhonda Andrews (Barrington Centre) - The Power of Connection in Hospitality
Dirty Linen - A Food Podcast with Dani ValentShow Notes
Poor working environments aren’t just a bummer, they are illegal. Every Australian jurisdiction requires employers to explicitly identify, assess, and control hazards that could harm someone’s mental health.
Rhonda Andrews is a psychologist and the CEO of Barrington Centre, a specialist team of psychologists and consultants. We talk workplace culture, burn-out and why chefs are as important as brain surgeons.

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?
