Listen "Dave Verheul | Lesa"
Episode Synopsis
I first met Dave a couple of years ago when I went into Embla for a chat. It would have been one of the first conversations I did and I loved every minute of it. Back then, Dave was running between Town Mouse and Embla and doing an excellent job at both. Now he is solely overseeing Embla. I still asked the same dumb question about his cooking style and I love that Dave has now put me in my place twice about how much chefs hate being asked that. But I’ll tell you something else, when I arrived at Lesa at 4pm at staff mealtime, Dave’s first question was, Are you hungry? This is a man who is the epitome of hospitality and I'm not the only one happy that he’s cooking for us in Melbourne.
