Matt found WHAT in Leigh Hart’s bedroom?? 

Leigh Hart and Matt Ward are back with another episode of Paid To Talk, your weekly hard-hitting comedy podcast packed with nonsense and questionable chat. 

 

This week, we’ve got celebrity chef and all-round good bastard Al Brown in for a chat. You’ll know him from his countless TV shows, cookbooks, great eateries like Depot, Best Ugly Bagels, his condiments (Producer note: Ok no more plugging, we do enough of that in the episode). We have a great chat about the future of the hospitality industry, why this country produces such incredible dishes, plus we veer into hangover cures and it somehow ends up with Leigh and Al on either side of the Korean border...  

  

Episode notes:  

(00:00) Intro 

(05:00) A rough time for the hospitality industry 

(10:00) Al’s food inspiration 

(15:00) “One of the best mouthfuls I’ve had this year” 

(19:30) Speed cooking in North Korea 

(23:00) Safron the Stripper 

(28:00) What is salsa? 

(31:00) What show would Al like to do next? 

(36:00) How you can support your local
