For fifty years, the songs of Air Supply have been a part of the soundtrack of our lives. On the eve of their Australian tour to mark this incredible milestone, Russell Hitchcock joins us on Food Bytes.

Russell takes us through the formation of Air Supply, discovering his voice and what it could do and his love of Melbourne fish and chips.

He also shares his love of tattoos (and one in particular), why he walked out of a Beatles concert and what he does best in the kitchen.   

The Food Poll heads back down the lolly aisle as we ask the earth-shattering question: Licorice allsorts - yay or nay? Be prepared. The answers take several unlikely detours from the lolly aisle.      

Presented by Sarah Patterson & Kevin Hillier

Elizabeth Hewson is a wearer of many aprons - home cook, recipe writer, columnist, wife, mother and author of the beautiful and practical new book 'Home Food' (Murdoch Books).

Elizabeth's food philosophy is easy to understand and achievable because, as she says,  sometimes dinner just needs to be dinner, not a Hollywood production with bells, whistles, oohs and ahhhs, but comfort food that embraces the imperfection, the mess and the reality of our modern lives. Elizabeth shares her two secret ingredients and even works the old BBQ chook into the show.     

Recent show guest Danny McGinlay inspired this week's Food Poll: it's a toastie up against the jaffle.

You can't help but like Danny McGinlay. Not only is he funny, clever, smart (and punctual), he smells good - even on radio and podcasts. One of the hardest-working comedians on the circuit, Danny does it all, from The Front Bar to his Comedy Festival shows, the Danny/ Boyd Bulldogs podcast and his infamous AFL match day banners, his performing plate is always full, but what about the ones in the McGinlay kitchen?

Danny's love of a baked bean jaffle is no laughing matter and his cooking tip highlights a much underrated chicken option. 

As well as conducting his own private Twisties poll, Danny has some thoughts on our Food Poll this week as we ask for a yay or nay on cottage cheese.

Luke Darcy is a Western Bulldogs star in his own right and a former high profile media star to boot. These days though, it is being dad to the AFL's hottest property - Sam Darcy - that is shaping his media appearances. But wait, there's more. Sam's eighteen year old brother Will has been drafted to the red, white and blue as well.

Food Bytes dragged Luke away from his parental duties to chat about his life, his dubious kitchen skills, the food that is his kyrptonite and a media career that crossed paths with Sarah's in the early hours of weekday mornings on Triple M's Hot Breakfast with Eddie McGuire, where even the coffee was special. 

This week the Food Poll is a Scroll Poll with coffee, custard, cinnamon and cheeseymite scrolls vying for their 'pick me' moment. Which would you choose?
