Our guest today is a proper Kiwi legend — a bloke whose name is basically stitched into the fabric of New Zealand food and hospitality. Al Brown isn’t your typical TV chef — he’s more of a storyteller with a fishing rod in one hand and a spatula in the other. He co-founded Logan Brown, one of NZ’s best restaurants, hosted a bunch of TV shows and created Depot Eatery and Federal Deli — two absolute Auckland institutions. He’s cooked for world leaders, fished every corner of Aotearoa, and probably poured more beers for strangers than most bartenders.His new book, Hooked, dives into his lifelong love of fishing — the food, the people, and the stories that come with it.
