Episode Synopsis

This week, Hannah sits down with BBQ legend and hospitality pro Shaun “Googsy” Kestle, a man whose 25-year love affair with food, fire and flavour has become a way of life.

From fine-dining kitchens to smoky fire pits, Googsy’s story is about turning passion into purpose and bringing people together through food that tells a story. He’s cooked with world-class pitmasters, judged international BBQ comps, and built Mad Mullet Gastronom into a celebration of community, creativity and charcoal.

Expect laughs, lessons, and a few secrets from the smoker as we talk passion, mental health, and the art of staying grounded when life heats up.

🔥 Listen, laugh, and remember: the best things in life, like great BBQ, take time, patience and heart.
