Jay Clough (Bureau of Eating and Drinking) - the joys and traumas of a life in food

We hate thinking about the pandemic but it seems a lot of Covid-induced impacts are only now coming to the surface: the emotional fallout and economic crunches are very real. Today's guest is Jay Clough, a hospo veteran who recently closed a cafe and foodstore in inner Melbourne. The demise of his dream business hit super hard but Jay has regrouped with Bureau of Eating and Drinking, an industry newsletter that shares the joys and traumas of a life in food. https://substack.com/@bureaumelbourne Subscribe here to our Deep in the Weeds Food Podcast Network Newsletter Follow Dirty Linen on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dirtylinenpodcast Follow Dani Valent https://www.instagram.com/danivalent Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ Follow Huck (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork Dirty Linen is a food podcast hosted by Australian journalist Dani Valent.
