A couple of weeks ago our old friend Duncan Welgemoed from Attica got in touch while he was in Sydney for the Beer and BBQ Festival and asked if we wanted to come interview Canadian food lover Matty Matheson. Mitch was overseas living it up but Levins carted his setup to the festival and interviewed Matty in the best scenario possible: behind a makeshift kitchen in the loudest part of a food and music festival, surrounded by drunk chefs who kept stealing the microphones.  FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOKINSTAGRAM / LEVINS / MITCHTWITTER: LEVINS / MITCH - The Mitchen is a podcast about food in Sydney, hosted by Andrew Levins and Mitch Orr.

We recorded this episode with one of our favourite regular guests Lee Tran Lam yesterday after lunch. On our ways home we received the news about our friend Jeremy Strode, an incredibly kind and generous chef who passed away early this week. He's someone who has appeared on the show in our early days and has probably inspired almost every other guest we've had on since. We'll speak about Jeremy and his legacy many, many times in the future but Mitch and I decided to record a short intro over the phone that we added to this episode this morning. Rest in peace Jeremy. Our love to his family, friends and fans. After our short, badly recorded intro, our episode with Lee Tran Lam begins. We talk about Australian junk food, women in the food industry, Master of None and how good Momofuku Seiobo is. Make sure you check out Lee Tran's podcast The Unbearable Lightness of Being Hungry!

Mike's back for a extra long ep about getting bollocked in the kitchen, Justin Bieber's favourite places to eat in Sydney and the latest run of finalists for the Josephine Pignolet Young Chef of the Year Award.
