#282 Zac Shearer | Tiny Bar

from Conversation with a chef Hosted by Jo Rittey

Zac Shearer is a chef with a deep-rooted love for food that started in Tasmania, where his dad was a fisherman and his mum took him on trips to Melbourne’s Food and Wine shows. He’s been cooking since he was 18, spending time in Melbourne kitchens such as The Lincoln and French Saloon. Now, he’s taking on a new challenge—training to be a food studies teacher—while also launching Tiny Bar in Brunswick East with his partner, Jamila. I had been wanting to chat to Zac for a while and now that there’s so much happening, it was the perfect time. We talked about his journey, the shift from head chef roles restaurant kitchens to the classroom and a very tiny bar where the kitchen is literally a step from the tables. We also talked about why Tiny Bar is already such a special addition to Melbourne’s food scene, a couple of weeks in where it seems to be exactly what everyone was waiting for.
