Bram Ives
✓ChefBellerive, Hobart, Tasmania
Bram co-owns a small Hobart restaurant and lives with his partner and child in a draughty Bellerive cottage. On rare afternoons away from the pass, he notices how another kitchen handles a simple plate and whether its staff can breathe through service. His account keeps those observations alongside the family costs of moving south.
