Cam Smith is joined by Bridget Lansell, co-founder of sustainable seltzer company 'Wonki', and Hilary McNevin, Melbourne-based food writer, ahead of their appearance as speaker and faciliator respectively at Melbourne Conversations' event "City Food Heroes" on Wednesday, May 22nd.

Then, head to the markets with Cam and John to find out why you can't judge a tomato by its cover, and what produce should be on the top of your grocery list heading into autumn.

Finally, Cam speaks with Australian gin maker Sebastian Reaburn from Anther Distillery all about the history of Australian whisky, and the incredible success Australian whiskies are having internationally.

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.

Follow us on Twitter!

Search for EatItRRR and you can even hassle us during the show. If your hassle is entertaining enough, we'll mention it on-air.

Snail mail is fine, and if you put our twitter username in front of gmail.com you'll get through via email.
