Author: A Deep in the Weeds Production September 22, 2026 Duration: 32:13
For almost 20 years, today’s guest has been turning out high-octane, electric Southeast Asian dining—first in Surry Hills and now right on the water in Coogee, Sydney. It’s hard to fathom that a restaurant with such a strong brand and following has never been reviewed by the main food newspaper sections. But as owner and chef Milan Strbac (Sugarcane, Coogee Sydney) explains Sugarcane’s success is proof you don’t need a review to build a successful restaurant. https://www.sugarcanerestaurant.com.au SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER FOR EXCLUSIVE ARTICLES, NEWS, GIVEAWAYS AND BEHIND THE SCENES ⁠https://deepintheweeds.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=d33e307cf7100cf947e2e6973&id=d17d8213f5⁠ Follow Deep In The Weeds on Instagram      ⁠https://www.instagram.com/deepintheweedspodcast/?hl=en⁠ Follow Huck ⁠https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/⁠ Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer) ⁠https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/⁠ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS ⁠https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork⁠ Deep in the Weeds is a food podcast hosted by Anthony Huckstep in conversation with chefs, food producers and members of the hospitality industry. An Australian Food Podcast from the Deep in the Weeds Network.

Anthony Huckstep pulls up a chair in kitchens, dining rooms, and farms across Australia for Deep in the Weeds-A Food Podcast with Anthony Huckstep. This isn't about surface-level reviews or trendy recipes. Instead, each episode digs into the real stories and hard-earned wisdom of the people who make our food culture tick. You'll hear chefs recount the pivotal failures that shaped their careers, listen to producers explain the visceral challenges of farming with the seasons, and get honest reflections from front-of-house staff on the beautiful chaos of service. The conversations are intimate and meandering, often uncovering the personal philosophies and quiet obsessions that drive people in this demanding industry. By focusing on these substantive dialogues, the podcast reveals the connective tissue between the grower, the cook, and the guest on the restaurant floor. It’s a series for anyone who believes food is about more than just consumption-it's about community, craft, and the sometimes messy business of hospitality. Produced by A Deep in the Weeds Production, this ongoing audio documentary offers a genuine, unvarnished listen, straight from the source.
