I’m a big fan of Scott Pickett’s restaurants and, in fact, my very first Conversation with a chef was with Joe Grbac who, at the time, was co-owner of Saint Crispin With Scott. Having had a chat to two of Scott’s chefs already, Tim from Matilda and Valentin from Estelle, I was not about to miss out on talking to Charlie at newly opened, Lupo, especially having tasted some of Charlie’s food at the opening night this week. Talking to Charlie, I was reminded about the greater loveliness of these chats I get to have; the insight I get into the bigger picture of hospitality and community, not only in Melbourne, but across the world.
