  • Episode 6: Why Real Restaurants Don’t Chase Trends with Duncan and Lauren from Africola

    Episode 6: Why Real Restaurants Don’t Chase Trends with Duncan and Lauren from Africola
    2025/12/16
    Africola isn’t just one of Adelaide’s most influential restaurants; it’s a living, breathing example of what happens when culture, people, and product are put ahead of ego and expansion. In this episode of The Ingredients Podcast, Shaun sits down inside Africola with Duncan Welgemoed and Lauren Parsons to unpack the real story behind the venue: the fires (literal ones), the decisions not to scale, the obsession with people over praise, and why authenticity isn’t about copying heritage, it’s about building something honest that evolves on its own terms. They discuss candidly cooking over fire, building a team that genuinely wants to be there, why personality often beats skill in hiring, and how Africola has remained relevant for over a decade without chasing trends, critics, or headlines. There’s also a powerful reflection on Adelaide’s hospitality scene, where it’s been, where it’s heading, and why the city is finally keeping its talent instead of exporting it east. This is a conversation about restaurants as community anchors, menus as operational tools, and leadership that’s grounded in care, not control. If you run a venue or want to build something that lasts, this one’s worth your time. This episode is proudly brought to you by Tanda, helping hospitality venues stay compliant, supported, and ahead of the game.
