Welcome to The Kitchen Day Podcast!

This series celebrates the people behind some of New Zealand’s best restaurants and front-of-house teams - those for whom service is more than a job, it’s a calling. Hosted by Dominique Fourie McMillan and Chris Thompson, the podcast goes beyond the surface to show that exceptional service takes skill, dedication, and a deep understanding of people.

Dom and Chris sit down with inspiring service professionals - bartenders, sommeliers, baristas, hosts, and owners - to uncover the personalities, philosophies, and stories behind the tables.

From the challenges and triumphs of the job to the unforgettable moments that make hospitality shine, you'll get a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the people who create the experiences we all remember.

The Kitchen Day Podcast launches November 3.
