Ep 26: Lamingtons - It's Serious Business

A food business based on relationships and nostalgia. We sat down with Tokyo Lamington founders Eddie Stewart and Min Chai to learn about their past, present and plans for the future.  Eddie and Min have taken the iconic Australian lamington and changed it up….Risky business one could say, however, their version of this sweet treat has met with the approval of dessert chasers of all ages – including the local Nanas! Yes, messing with a timeless favourite is a bold move but it’s also the only way forward and what the pair have achieved with Tokyo Lamington is to fuse past and present in a way that enhances both. In this chat the pair talk about how the journey began (in a park, after a few drinks if you must know), how it got here and where it might lead next. From Tokyo to Sydney and now Melbourne, it’s not your Grandmother’s lamington any more (though she will love it, promise!)
