For the second episode of The Producers in Launceston, we chat to Massimo Mele, a local chef and restaurateur who has made it a mission to nurture, highlight and champion local farmers and the produce they grow, make and coax into being.\xa0We talk about his transformation from a chef who ticked items off an order sheet for next-day delivery to a collaborator who plans menus months in advance alongside farmers.\xa0\n\nThe Producers in Launceston is a special series celebrating the farmers and produce of northern Tasmania.\xa0\n\nThese podcasts are a partnership with AgriCULTURED, a food showcase of this special region.\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/chefmassimomele/?hl=en\n\nhttps://www.agricultured.com.au\n\nFollow The Producers on Instagram\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/producerspodcast/\n\nHost Anthony Huckstep\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/\n\nHost Dani Valent\xa0\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/danivalent\n\nExecutive Producer Rob Locke\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/\n\n\nLISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS\n\nhttps://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork
