Stephanie Stapleton (Ms Jackson) - a hospitality journey

We tackle some big topics in this chat. It's a huge step from being a junior chef to a restaurant co-owner, in this case in Melbourne's eastern suburb of Doncaster. What lessons can Ms Jackson's Stephanie Stapleton share about her hospitality journey? We talk about the challenges of menu design: what do you do when your community simply doesn't get the food you're putting in front of them? And how do we balance the rigors of fine dining training with the wellbeing of young chefs? https://msjackson.com.au 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.
