Today, we're joined by fine dining legend Peter Gilmore, the Executive Chef at Quay and Bennelong, two of Australia's top restaurants. With nearly four decades of culinary experience under his belt, Peter has mentored some of the country's best young talent and is one of the most consistently awarded chefs in Australia. Driven by an obsession with and a passion for produce, Peter is also an avid gardener, making monthly visits to Tasmania to tend to his own seven-acre property nestled in the rolling hills south of Hobart. Peter joins Around Town to chat about the future of fine dining, growing heirloom produce, and his favorite spots to eat around the city.

Every other Tuesday, Broadsheet Melbourne: Around Town offers a quiet moment to step into the city's vibrant current. This isn't about listing events; it's about the people quietly shaping the texture of daily life here. Each conversation pulls back the curtain on a different facet of local culture, from the precise craft behind a neighborhood restaurant's menu to the creative impulse driving a new gallery exhibition or an independent fashion line. You might hear from a chef redefining a classic ingredient, a designer building a sustainable brand, or an artist whose work captures a particular Melbourne mood. The podcast, produced by Broadsheet, moves fluidly between food, art, and society because, in this city, those lines are always blurring. Tuning in feels less like consuming media and more like grabbing a coffee with the most interesting person in the room-the one who can explain not just what's happening, but why it matters to the way we live, work, and gather. It’s for anyone who believes a city's character is built through these countless, thoughtful contributions, one story at a time.
