Anna Ugarte-Carral (The Old Fitzroy) - Detour to opportunity

After a career in some of Australia’s best restaurants Anna Ugarte (The Old Fitzroy) won the Josephine Pignolet award – recognising the best young chefs in Australia. All set to fly to Spain and the Basque country to stage at one of the world’s best restaurants Asador Etxebarri as part of her prize, the pandemic hit and put everything on hold. At a loss and unsure what to do next, a chance meeting lead to the opportunity for her very first head chef role at one of Sydney’s most loved old pubs. https://www.instagram.com/trupunx/ Follow Deep In The Weeds on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/deepintheweedspodcast/?hl=en Follow Huck https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER PODCASTS Dirty Linen with Dani Valent https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/dirty-linen-a-food-podcast-with-dani-valent/id1518946986 The Crackling with Anthony Huckstep https://linktr.ee/thecrackling
