Episode 1

Inner West

There’s a new vibe in the neighbourhood. In Haberfield, Burwood and Newtown, business owners are innovating and putting these once-overlooked suburbs on the map.

Featuring Happyfield / Pillar / Earl’s Juke Joint
Episode 2

Bondi Beach

There’s more to Bondi than surfing, run clubs and influencers. We meet the tight-knit community that’s kept it all going long before the flashy reputation.

Featuring Lox In A Box / The Shop & Wine Bar
Episode 3

Inner Sydney

Success can start with a bang, or just with a spark. In Potts Point, Surry Hills and Chippendale, these restaurants began with just an inkling and grew to become community hubs.

Featuring Salumerie / MLK Deli / Khanom House

Something good is cooking in the suburbs of Sydney. Such as bagels (but not the kind you’re thinking of). And brisket (halal style). And North American diner food (really). Watch the full series to get the full plot.

Host

“Maybe part of being a good neighbour is bringing a part of yourself to the hood. To keep Sydney thriving.”

Joel Bennetts is a classically trained chef who’s made a name for himself in Sydney and overseas. A lifelong Sydneysider, he’s now using his knowledge of the city and its cuisine to uncover neighbourhood stories that have never been told before.
