The Restaurant Reset w/ Luke Sutherland | Conscious Chefs Episode 1

Welcome to our new podcast series!

In our first episode, we talk with "The Everyday Chef" Luke Sutherland from Perth, Australia. Luke is a 20+ year veteran of the restaurant industry turned entrepreneur - after being laid off from his restaurant job during the COVID-19 lockdown, he decided to make a major career pivot and become his own boss. In March, he and his business partner - a FOH coworker who was also laid off - launched The Butler and the Chef, a company designed to bring the experience of fine dining into the age of social distancing. They currently offer intimate dinner parties and small events throughout Perth and Western Australia.

In this episode, we chat about:

the transition from restaurant chef to self-employment
the challenges that come with paying yourself a fair rate
finding your motivation
how "being ready" is a myth
mindset, self-worth and depression in cooks
food sustainability, eating local, and social responsibility
truly embracing your authenticity and finding your culinary voice
taking control of your free time and setting boundaries with work
what the new normal might look like for the restaurant and hospitality industry

Luke is an absolute powerhouse of inspiration, and we hope you enjoy listening to this chat as much as we enjoyed having it.
