  • Summary

  • Dirty Linen goes behind the scenes in restaurants, cafes and bars, covering issues the hospitality industry finds hard to share in public - it's all up for grabs and everything is on the table. 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. We ask the hard questions and discuss the big issues, bringing a unique perspective to a world that we all intersect with but often don’t understand. Dirty Linen is a Deep in the Weeds Production.

  • Dani's Friday on My Mind - a recap of the last little while

    Dani's Friday on My Mind - a recap of the last little while
    Feb 7 2025
    What’s on my mind this Friday? I talk about fundraising for food-relief, sharing a stage with Hana Assafiri from Moroccan Soup Bar, kebabs and long journeys with Hamed Allahyari, and leading people around multicultural Clayton. There’s also a recap of my pod with Dwayne Bannon-Harrison, a shout-out to Namaste Haifa and their menstruation discount, plus a wrap of Lorena Corso’s Sicilian Smoke Out. I ponder neighbourhood revivals in the context of Dawn & Mabels on Acland Street, and celebrate the growth of every single snow pea.
