130. Christophe Dehosse - Klein Joostenberg & Vine Bistro

I've known Christophe Dehosse for over a decade. The incredible bistro, deli and butchery he runs with his wife Susan is just round the corner from the site of my first Winelands restaurant. He was always good for a loooooong natter about the industry when I rocked up at Klein Joostenberg looking for ingredients, and some of the chefs I hold in high regard (like George Jardine and Rudi Liebenberg) consider him a bit of a legend. It was only when I interviewed Matthew Gordon from Franschhoek on the show recently, that I discovered that his trail of culinary crumbs and influences runs right back to the early beginnings of the Western Cape food miracle. We had a wide-ranging and fascinating chat about his adventures and his thoughts about the industry now. The original recording ran to 1h33 - so I had to chop it a bit. Truly a giant on the local food scene.www.rwm2012.comOn Instagram @a_table_inthecornerCover image sketched by Courtney Cara LawsonAll profile portraits by Russel Wasserfall unless otherwise creditedTitle music: 'In Time' by Olexy via Pixabay
