Join Chef turned Food Tech teacher Elvin Ho as he amuses your bouches with a degustation of standup comedy exploring all things food. May contain traces of durian.

In this brand new hour, Ho explores our deep cultural connection to food through whimsical and poignant storytelling, charting a course to a brighter future where cuisines may be used to unite an increasingly fractured society.

Ho explores eating and cooking through the lenses of his childhood, and working life as a chef, cheesemonger, food writer, and food tech teacher. He also shares madcapped parenting tales, such as foraging for wild mushrooms and harvesting garden snails. Inherently joyful and optimistic, Ho uses food, glorious food, as a launching pad to investigate broader themes of identity, belonging and inclusion.

  • “There’s so much hate in the world right now. Sharing food is one way people from all walks of life can connect, and perhaps realise we’re all more alike than different.”
