Dirty Linen is a food podcast with Dani Valent that goes behind the scenes in restaurants, cafes and bars.
Your host is food journalist Dani Valent. For 20 years, Dani has been writing about restaurants and the people who give them life. But she’s an outsider, a critic, a tourist, a fan. Despite hearing the stories and writing the tales, she’s never really understood what happens behind the scenes. Now it’s time to get stuck in, with compassion, humour and fearlessness. Dirty Linen goes deep, both in conversations with individuals and in pressing topics.
Dirty Linen is an Australian food podcast produced by the Deep in the Weeds Podcast Network.
