He also shares what he loves about food and wine in Melbourne:
I love Melbourne because we are an egalitarian city by nature – a city where talk of class systems and demographics are largely overshadowed by talk of footy, art and food – a city where you’re more likely to be judged on where you go for coffee than what you do for a living or how much you earn.
