Every restaurant has that table - tucked away in a corner - where you can quietly read the room during service. From here you can observe the inner workings, the guts, of restaurant life. It’s where the best conversations unfold. From his corner table, Russel Wasserfall explores his obsession with food, chatting with the people who shape contemporary eating.

Over three decades in media and hospitality, Russel has waited on tables, run restaurants, published cookbooks, and told food stories in multiple formats. Now, microphone in hand, he goes beyond glossy magazine features and perfect plates to explore the nitty-gritty of the industry.

Join him as he sits down with award-winning chefs, flour-dusted bakers, and restaurateurs navigating the challenging waters of the hospitality ‘game’. Meet foragers, small producers and market stall traders at A Table in the Corner, in conversations brimming with insights and anecdotes about the food service industry.
