Stephen Nairn | Yugen Dining & Omnia Bristro | HMP S1E11

We're back with a banger for our first episode of 2025. Join Ty and special guest host Ellie as we chat with Stephen Nairn, the brilliant Culinary Director behind two of Melbourne’s hottest dining spots—Yugen Dining and Omnia Bistro. 

Stephen has cooked in some of the world’s top kitchens and now leads the charge at these iconic venues, blending creativity, precision, and bold flavors to wow anyone who enters their doors. We talk to him about his journey from international kitchens to Melbourne’s food scene, what inspires his menus, and how he manages it all while leading a team of over 120 people.

If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to craft the perfect dining experience or just want a peek behind the scenes of Melbourne’s food world, this one’s for you. Don’t miss it!

Thank you for listening! We are so grateful we get to do this thing and it really means the world to us to have supporters like yourself listening in.
