Published: Jan. 28, 2024, 5 p.m.

b"There's a huge Sri Lankan community in Australia but the breadth and possibilities of Sri Lankan food aren't always part of the culinary conversation. We talk to Nerissa Jayasingha about Lankan Tucker, her Sri Lankan-skewed cafe in Brunswick West. How are hoppers and kottu roti melded with Aussie brunch to create an appealing cafe menu? What does lasagne have to do with anything? And pricing! We talk about the challenges of putting the correct value on a cuisine that's often perceived as a cheap feed.\\n\\nhttps://www.instagram.com/lankantucker/?hl=en\\n\\nFollow Dirty Linen on Instagram\\n\\nhttps://www.instagram.com/dirtylinenpodcast\\n\\nFollow Dani Valent\\n\\nhttps://www.instagram.com/danivalent\\n\\nFollow Rob Locke (Executive Producer)\\n\\nhttps://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/\\n\\nFollow Huck (Executive Producer)\\n\\nhttps://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/\\n\\nLISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS\\n\\nhttps://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork\\n\\nDirty Linen is a food podcast hosted by Australian journalist Dani Valent.
