Alexes and Phill welcome Katrina Birchmeier of The Four Horseman to the studio for a chat on all things natural wine, how she came to work with LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy, plus how her home country of Australia has influenced her current work. Katrina shares her take on what natural wine and biodynamics mean in the context of the establishment plus how this wine bar sets itself a part from the rest.  Tune in to hear Katrina’s favorite wines by the glass and more!   “It’s a term [natural wine] that brings up a lot of argument. The way I look at it is wines that are made form grapes that are grown chemical free, organic or biodynamic… no additives, and the wines are made with the grades’ natural yeast.” [12:00] –Katrina Birchmeier on The Main Course

Episode 147: Katrina Birchmeier from The Four Horseman

David Thompson

This special episode was recorded on the night of the Electrolux Appetite For Excellence Awards last year. For the podcast, I was lucky to be able to talk to competition judge David Thompson about everything – from the century-old Thai cookbooks he's collected to the time he recently won Best Restaurant in Asia (an experience that actually annoyed him, surprisingly)! I also got to chat to Katrina Birchmeier of Garagistes, who won Young Restaurateur in 2012, and returned as a judge in the Young Waiter category in 2014. And finally, I talked to Emma Barnes, a finalist in the Young Chef category, about the time she burnt her face in the kitchen (but didn't even notice!), her experience of the competition and why microwave soup is not as terrible as you think.
