Food Bytes with Sarah Patterson

Gyton Grantley is a man with a lot on his plate and he is a man with a lot of plates. We all know Gyton as a talented actor who starred as Carl Williams in the Underbelly series. But wait, there's more. Much more.  Next week Gyton begins the season of the new production of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest with Jason Donovan at Melbourne's Athenaeum Theatre.    You can also catch him as the food host of the new reboot of the Healthy, Wealthy and Wise television show on Network 10 every Saturday.  And his book Il Dolce Fiasco (Allen & Unwin) is out now, telling the story of escaping with his young family to live in Italy where even the hospital food is first class according to Gyton.  We managed to catch him between engagements and discoved a man who loves his food and creating his own kitchen masterpieces.       The Food Poll this week rekindles fond memories of being the kid in the lolly shop as we agonise over choosing a Mint Pattie or a Golden Rough.     Food Bytes with Sarah Patterson and Kevin Hillier  Broadcast each Sunday on the ACE Radio Network - https://aceradio.com.au/ Catch us also on: Radio 2DD - Easy Listening - On Line - https://www.2dd.online/ Follow us on Facebook...https://www.facebook.com/foodbyteswithsarahpatterson/ Twitter & Instagram - @sarahfoodbytes Producer - Christopher Gates  © 2026 Howdy Partners MediaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Katie Jayne is a rising country music artist and an early rising breakfast radio personality, but somehow she manages to fit a Food Bytes appearance into her full-on schedule. When not belting our original songs live on stage across the country or waking up the good folk of Muswellbrook on her Power FM radio show, Katie Jayne occassionally wanders into the kitchen to whip up delicious healthy meals. She made the decision to give up the grog a few years back and takes us through that experience and the impact on and off stage, including her new project: an album of drinking songs about NOT drinking.     The Food Poll this week has no meat, just potatoes. It's the complete hot chip conundrum: Would you choose crinkle cut, shoestring fries or thick cut chips?    Food Bytes with Sarah Patterson and Kevin Hillier  Broadcast each Sunday on the ACE Radio Network - https://aceradio.com.au/ Catch us also on: Radio 2DD - Easy Listening - On Line - https://www.2dd.online/ Follow us on Facebook...https://www.facebook.com/foodbyteswithsarahpatterson/ Twitter & Instagram - @sarahfoodbytes Producer - Christopher Gates  © 2026 Howdy Partners MediaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They are a dynamic culinary combination: Manu & Clarissa Feildel have taken their kitchen chemistry and put it on the pages of their new book Butter and Spice (Are Media Books) and they share it with us this week.  Their life together is one big food-filled adventure. We delve into what they grew up eating, what is on the table now and who is the boss in the Feildel kitchen.  You will be introduced to a new cuisine: 'Frasian.'  The Food Poll is a mini World Culinary Cup. Of these four cuisines, which would you rate the highest: Greek, Italian, Japanese or Mexican?  Food Bytes with Sarah Patterson and Kevin Hillier  Broadcast each Sunday on the ACE Radio Network - https://aceradio.com.au/ Catch us also on: Radio 2DD - Easy Listening - On Line - https://www.2dd.online/ Follow us on Facebook...https://www.facebook.com/foodbyteswithsarahpatterson/ Twitter & Instagram - @sarahfoodbytes Producer - Christopher Gates  © 2026 Howdy Partners MediaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Conor Curran is back, and he's brought his fabulous cookbook 'Eat More Greek' (Murdoch Books) along with him. While the name Conor Curran does not appear very Greek, growing up, his grandma - better known as YiaYia - helped shape his culinary choices. Conor shares some of his favourites dishes from childhood and from the book, plus we revisit his MasterChef experience. In the five years since we spoke, Conor has built a big following on social media and honing his skills as a mixologist. We get the rundown on some special Greek-style cocktails.   We are not raising the bar this week for the Food Poll, we are opening it to ask whether your preference is red or white wine.  Food Bytes with Sarah Patterson and Kevin Hillier  Broadcast each Sunday on the ACE Radio Network - https://aceradio.com.au/ Catch us also on: Radio 2DD - Easy Listening - On Line - https://www.2dd.online/ Follow us on Facebook...https://www.facebook.com/foodbyteswithsarahpatterson/ Twitter & Instagram - @sarahfoodbytes Producer - Christopher Gates  © 2026 Howdy Partners MediaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Todd McKenney is the ultimate all-round entertainer. He treads the boards, hosts TV and radio shows and as we discover in this episode, Todd can knock up a pretty handy dinner party in his swanky new kitchen with his you-beaut speed oven. The boy from WA became the Boy from Oz and that role - plus his part in making Dancing with the Stars a television blockbuster - has allowed Todd to take his popular one-man show to venues across the country. Check out his website http://www.toddmckenney.com.au/ for the latest touring dates.  Todd shares how his career started, his love of greyhounds, the one place he doesn't feel totally comfortable and his dream dinner party guests.  It's a fizzy, bubbly, refreshing, liquid Food Poll this week as we pop the top of a sarsaparilla or a creaming soda and ask in a very deep Australian, masculine non-AI voice the question: And the best cold drink is a ...?      Food Bytes with Sarah Patterson and Kevin Hillier  Broadcast each Sunday on the ACE Radio Network - https://aceradio.com.au/ Catch us also on: Radio 2DD - Easy Listening - On Line - https://www.2dd.online/ Follow us on Facebook...https://www.facebook.com/foodbyteswithsarahpatterson/ Twitter & Instagram - @sarahfoodbytes Producer - Christopher Gates  © 2026 Howdy Partners MediaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
