David Ezrine; Reviving The Kin Kin Hotel. Food, Community, and Destination Hospitality.

Today, an inspiring story of transformation, resilience, and reimagined hospitality. Kin Kin’s a small town with a big soul, and The Kin Kin Hotel, a historic Queensland pub, is undergoing an extraordinary rebirth.  Our guest, David Ezrine, is no stranger to global ventures. From projects across the United States, Costa Rica, and the UK, to connecting with world-class chefs through the legendary Big Green Egg barbecue, David has spent decades at the intersection of design, gastronomy, and community.  Now, together with his wife Ellie, David has taken on one of his biggest projects yet: transforming The Kin Kin Hotel into a destination for food lovers, locals, and travellers alike. It’s a story about more than just a pub, it’s about place-making, regenerative farming, culinary craftsmanship, and the challenge of winning over a tight-knit community.  In this episode, David shares the journey behind The Kin Kin Hotel, how attention to detail in design and dining creates unforgettable experiences, and why he believes hospitality at its best should feel like being welcomed into someone’s home.
