I recently rewatched the film Belle, played by Guru Mbatha-Raw set in the late 1700s to early 1800s, based on a true story. Belle was the child of a white British Naval Officer and an African woman, she was brought to the United Kingdom at a young age by her father after her mother passed. Belle was taken into custody by her great-uncle Lord William Murray Mansfield, who happened to be Britains’ most powerful judge at the time. This relationship would be significant as Belles’ life became intertwined with the abolishment of the Slave Trade in March 1807. The film was inspired by a 1779 painting of Belle standing beside her cousin Lady Elizabeth Murray at Kenwood House in London, which now hangs at Scone Palace in Perth, Scotland. Beware of spoilers…. The post EP 26: Dido Elizabeth Belle appeared first on Can I Preach?.

Max's current favourite snack, for the record, is steak tartare. Image courtesy of Maxwell Mason Theme music by Max Savage Podcast recorded at Mache Adelaide

"I'm an unbearable asshole! I get really wound up when I go out for dinner and (staff) don't give a damn." So when British restauranteur Max Mason was hiring staff for the Henry Austin, perhaps Adelaide's most ambitious hospitality project, he turned experienced applicants away. He brought in an acting coach to teach staff about human interaction, and also taught staff chess to entertain guests while they wait for their date. This unconventional approach isn't unusual for for Max. In England, he once employed a homeless man as his head chef and convicted murderers as kitchen staff. He also thinks differently about the business of hospitality. After being lured to Adelaide's historic and vacant Chesser Cellars building by a friend and also the South Australian government's Renew Adelaide department, Max adapted to his surroundings. He called it the Henry Austin, and moulded his ideas for the restaurant, bar and bottle shop around the dilapidated building and turned it's weaknesses into strengths. The small plate menu of modern Australian yum cha is easy to run up and down stairs and there are flexible and unique spaces for functions. Amazingly, Max's bottle shop is the first of it's kind; he holds the 8,000 wines and pays winemakers as they sell. He's cut out distributors, and they hate him for it. The Henry Austin is just one chapter in Max's story. He travelled the world as a maritime archaeologist and then a British Naval Officer before getting into the restaurant game. He then developed quite a reputation in London and Oxford, before being brought out to Adelaide for pop up projects such as the Adelaide Festival restaurant project, Lola's Pergola. Enjoy truly unique insights about food, wine, hospitality, business and life from the eccentric and energetic Max Mason at the Henry Austin.
