In this episode of Straight To The Source, we’re joined by two culinary heavyweights: Adrian Richardson, TV chef and restaurateur behind La Luna and Good Chef Bad Chef, and Markus Werner, Culinary Director at Delaware North, overseeing stadiums and resorts across Australia. From humble apprenticeships to leading massive teams and global TV audiences, Adrian and Markus share how they first met (spoiler: it involves a “borrowed” knife), the values forged through old-school culinary training, and what drives them to keep learning after decades in the industry. They talk about: The realities of kitchen culture then and now. What has changed and what hasn’t How to spot and nurture the next generation of great chefs The balance between fine dining precision and stadium-scale catering What keeps these bigger-than-life chefs inspired outside the kitchen, from hunting to motorbikes to salami-making Their most memorable food moments (including Adrian’s unforgettable nonna’s ravioli) A lively, heartfelt, and often hilarious conversation about passion, friendship, and what it truly means to dedicate your life to food.
