After migrating to Australia in the 1960s from Lombardy, Italy with his family, Stefano Manfredi grew up in Western Sydney where Italian food was something new in Australian culture. Inspired by his grandmother and mother, he tasked himself with working some of Sydney’s best restaurants to understand what made them so successful, so one day he could open his own restaurant. He not only managed that but created some of the most influential Italian establishments in Australia’s culinary history, and as such is known fondly as the Godfather of Modern Italian cuisine.https://www.manfredi.com.auFollow Deep In The Weeds on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/deepintheweedspodcast/?hl=enFollow Huckhttps://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer)https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/LISTEN TO OUR OTHER PODCASTSDirty Linen with Dani Valenthttps://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/dirty-linen-a-food-podcast-with-dani-valent/id1518946986The Crackling with Anthony Huckstephttps://linktr.ee/thecrackling
