Food Bytes with Sarah Patterson

He is one of Australia's best-loved performers, and whether he is singing, dancing, hosting, acting or plumbing, Shane Jacobson is a rare talent and always has plenty on his plate. Which begs the question: Why would he buy a pub in regional Victoria? Well, he did, and the new owner of the Dederang Hotel in the Kiewa Valley joins us (after an eight year break) to share the story of 'Oops I bought a Pub,' his latest television and entrepreneurial adventure. In true Shane style, it is a hell of a good yarn.
No hefty power or gas bills were harmed in the making of the Food Poll again this week as yet another uncooked delicacy is put to the test: Steak tartare ... are you for or against?

At Food Bytes we don't stocktake, we take stock of the wonderful array of guests we have had on the show since the start of 2026. Sir Ian "Beefy' Baron Botham kicked off the year in style and he is a fitting opener for this EOFBY Special - End of Financial Food Bytes Year. Get it!?
Whilst 'goddess' is not a royal proclamation, there is no doubt it sits perfectly well with Effie, who regaled us with hilarious anecdotes of the changes happening in her life in a most revealing chat.
Finally, an icon of Australian televison jourrnalism - Steve Liebmann, the original Today Show host. A man who has seen and been a part of some of the most important news events in modern history.
What an episode. A knight, a goddess and an icon. All that is missing is something to eat. How about raw fish? The Food Poll delivers ,with your yay or nay vote for sashimi.

George Shevtsov is an acclaimed Australian television, film and theatre actor best known for roles like the History Man in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga and as radio DJ Ken Sherry in Love Serenade. The latter is one of Sarah and Kevin's all-time favourite Aussie films and it is a treat to chat to George about this classic movie on its 30th anniversary.
The Ken Sherry character has been variously described as a brooding, self centured, yet charismatic big city radio announcer who somehow finds himself working on a little station in a Victorian country town. The classic 'big fish, little pond' scenario. George shares his memories of the film he describes as an Australian masterpiece - and a whole lot more.
The star of the Food Poll this episode are those salty little critters we know as capers. Which side of the fence do you sit on? Is it a yay or a nay?

Daniel Motlop was a very exciting footballer to watch during his playing days for North Melbourne and Port Adelaide, where he clocked up 130 AFL games. Post footy, Daniel has found a new calling and, through his businesses, is combining native ingredients, indigenous skills, cultural knowledge and traditional methods with modern eco-friendly technology to produce some amazing food and beverage products for us to enjoy.
Daniel takes us inside the development of products like his Green Ant Gin and the benefits his venture is bringing to traditional communities. Plus, we find out about his cooking skills and reminisce about his AFL days.
The Food Poll is timely, tasty and testing. As we prepare for those cold wintry nights, would you go the vegie curry or the curried snags?
