The Fearless Kitchen 63: Anthony Femia - Maker and Monger (Cheese Purveyor Melb - Prahran Markets)
Description
Anthony's vision is to eventually open an all-encompassing cheese shop in Prahran Market with an on-site cheese maturation cellar focusing on local cheeses, fresh cheese made in house and a cheese selection offering a small bespoke range of farmhouse cheeses from Australia & abroad.
Maker & Monger is a Chariot of Cheese inside Prahran Market's fruit & vegetable hall offering traditional Swiss raclette served with local shiitake mushrooms, seasonal grilled cheese sandwiches plus Australia's first Flamed Reuben sandwich using Robbin's Island wagyu brisket pastrami.
Anthony and I talk a passion for all things cheese, his life long journey of learning, his Italian boy bond with his family, his decisions to change his life direction and so much more. I was lucky enough to be full of delicious cheese when I interviewed him. You may wish to have a delicious cheese in front of you when you sit down to drool through this interview!
