Ep. 16 Myffy Rigby (Good Food Guide, Editor)
Listen now
Description
When Myffy Rigby & Matty Matheson once hosted a Beer and BBQ fest together she was surprised to find out how much she was teaching Matty about different food and hospitality venues. It was an experience Myffy will never forget, along with hosting her first ever Good Food Guide awards which she said was absolutely electrifying. Myffy Rigby once completed a Theatre degree at Charles Sturt University, and while some of her friends went on to work at Cirque Du Soleil, Myffy diverted and went on to work as a food and drinks editor at Time Out Sydney. She was able to tell the raw, inspiring chef and restaurant stories that she always dreamed of and this sparked her journey as a food critic landing her one of the most prestigious roles in hospitality today, being the Editor of the Good Food Guide. Myffy and I chat about her latest obsession with bread baking, the different culture between Timeout and Good Food Guide, eating Thai food with Matty Matheson, the pressures behind being a food critic and she lays down her thoughts on Ben Devlin’s 30 day aged camembert cheese which was delicately smuggled down to her. So tune in, it's another funny chat about Myffy's experience through the world of journalism and what its like being a food critic. A chat, as a chef, I enjoyed having.
