This episode is all about uncovering Unconventional Wisdom. In it we explore new and different models for hospitality — and what happens when you step off the traditional path.

Our panel includes Caterina Borsato, proprietor of the celebrated Melbourne restaurant Caterina’s Cucina e Bar; Sophie McIntyre, founder of Club Sup, a modern supper club building community through shared meals; and Zoe Birch, chef, co-owner and one of two staff members of Greasy Zoe’s, a restaurant that, despite being tiny and located on the fringe of metro Melbourne in Hurstbridge, has won major accolades and draws attention from diners from around the world, and is hosted by Pat Nourse, Creative Director of Melbourne Food & Wine Festival.

We recorded this conversation live in front of an audience of hospitality professionals at Pt Leo Estate on the Mornington Peninsula. Let’s go.
