Listen to John's Top Picks for Autumn and Talking about Fine Meats with Leo Donati!52:3217 March 2024

Cam Smith and Matt Steadman get together (over zoom) to chat about the fantastic range of food festivals that are on at the moment, and Cam joins John at the Queen Vic Market for John's autumn produce market report!

Leo Donati of 'Donati's Fine Meats' sits down with Cam to talk about his upbringing in Melbourne, and how this lead to Donati becoming a butcher. The pair also delve into Donati's time serving during the Vietnam War and the difficulties of running a butcher shop whilst in another country, in addition to the challenges that came with being Italian in Australia in the 70's.

About this program

Food for thought: recipes, hints and tips, interviews and a market report.

It's one of those constants in this fair city; every Sunday at midday tune into the best radio station on earth for Eat It, Triple R's resident food show. No-one really knows quite how many years the show has been on-air, but it's been going long enough for us all to lose track. Each week Cam Smith and Matt Steadman take an hour to discuss every aspect of food and drink, including regular market reports, interviews with chefs and restaurateurs, chats with industry and lobby groups, emptying bottles with wine-makers and writers, answering listeners' questions, the occasional on-air cooking segment, and anything else we deem fit. Sometimes we'll even squeeze in a song or two.
