I have officially moved back to the USofA after being in New Zealand for 10 years. What better way to fight jet-lag than with a brand new episode?!

Where do we draw the line with coffee trends?!
Jalapeños, orange juice, olive oil, hot sauce... I just saw a video this morning on Parmesan cheese in coffee?! Come onnnn. We want the channel growths, but at what cost?

What a time to be alive in the world of coffee content. Social media can be a real b when you’re trying to keep up with the trends while growing your channel in an authentic way. EVEN HARDER WHEN WE HAVE ROBOTS MAKING COFFEES! Cheers Cafe X- (I tried it in San Fran… let’s talk 😬)

An Aeropress at Cinderella’s Castle airs tonight (Friday, 7pm EST 🇺🇸 / Saturday, 11am NZT🇳🇿 ) where we talk all things content creation, the struggle to find a new coffee and oat milk dealer, how to pack coffee gear when you’re travelling internationally (I can recommend socks in your chemex) coffee robots in San Francisco, and some exciting announcements for HB!

Chef attends sushi chef institute in California - opens up pop up in Hamburg. A love story about cooking, spearfishing, building a better life, and travelling - all while being in a travelling kitchen.

It's 2023, toxic kitchen vibes are out. Being drunk on a chartered yacht and yelling at your chef to bake you a cake - out. Taking a phone call before walking into a cafe and ignoring your barista - bye bye. Coffee robots taking over the world, pouring swans and 70 tiered rosettas and tulips - giving baristas the boot? Please no.

Perhaps 2023 is the year of reflection, hitting the pause button to revaluate, reassess and address. Identify the gaps, hype yourself up, and lean into your skills and interests to add value in an automised and bland world. Spice it up.

Hubert and I cover a lot in this second part of our podcast episode: how to let go of fear and pursue your passion, how to do your part by living a more sustainable life when it comes to food, the importance of storytelling and sharing your journey, aannndddd- let's talk about working in restaurants and living our best life.

"People will always eat and drink, no matter where you are. If you take that into perspective and offer hospitality all around the world from different cultures, you can use it anywhere you want."

Hubert is a multifaceted chef who has worked here there and everywhere. Starting at an apprenticeship in Hamburg from 18-21, he formed a high standard and tempo, and a resilience from working in such an intense environment. Since then, he's worked everywhere from fine dining, casual dining, private cheffing at the Australian Grand Prix, working on pearl boats, lobster picking in Chatham Islands, private cheffing on yachts, becoming a professional spear fisherman and chartering spear fishing adventures in Indo, and adapting a new tranquil approach to his hospo career. His latest achievement was completing sushi making education and mastering Japanese cuisine at the Sushi Chef Institute in California led by Chef Andy Matsuda. All of these components have led into the creation of his brand and business: Sushybyhu.

In this first part, Hu takes us through his history and backstory on how he was able to travel the world with practically nothing, and still find himself cheffing in some amazing places. We'll touch on Sushibyhu, creating content, and as always, why we love hospo.

Be sure to tune into Part 2 of this episode on Friday Jan 27 at 1pm EST. If you'd like to watch the full YouTube video of this interview, head to the link below.
