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 has made a name for himself in Sydney and abroad. 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.

Episodes

Episode 1 Inner West

Nov 05, 2025 — 1 min read

Featuring Happyfield, Pillar and Earl’s Juke Joint

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

Episode 2 Bondi Beach

Nov 05, 2025 — 1 min read

Featuring Lox In A Box and The Shop & Wine Bar.

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.

Episode 3 Inner Sydney

Nov 05, 2025 — 1 min read

Featuring Salumerie, MLK Deli and Khanom House

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.
