Jesse McTavish (Bar Elvina) - in it for the long haul
Four weeks ago, chef Jesse McTavish opened Bar Elvina, the restaurant of his dreams at Avalon on Sydney's Northern Beaches. It was going gangbusters - an instant hit with a close community. Last week, that all unravelled as a COVID cluster invaded the region, leading first to cancellations, then closure, then a lockdown and now to a swift reinvention of Bar Elvina as a takeaway business. Jesse is shellshocked but sanguine - he's in it for the long haul and is trying not to get too rattled by 2020's final hurrah.\n\nhttps://www.barelvina.com.au\n\nFollow Dirty Linen on Instagram\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/deepintheweedspodcast/?hl=en\n\nFollow Dani\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/danivalent\n\nFollow Deep In The Weeds on Instagram\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/deepintheweedspodcast/?hl=en\n\nFollow Rob Locke (Executive Producer)\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/\n\nFollow Huck (Executive Producer)\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/
