#128 Gareth Whitton | Tarts Anon

I was lucky enough to chat to Gareth and his partner Catherine for Broadsheet right before their Cremorne shop opened for dine-in customers. I probably picked the worst time to hit up Gareth for my own chef chat, given they have only just opened a second shop in Collingwood and they have a baby due any second. Gareth was just finishing up something when I arrived so he set me up with a delicious savoury tart; maple glazed bacon in a leek and almond base, topped with Swiss Gruyère custard. Far be it from me to channel Janice from Friends, but Oh. My. God. Gareth and I just launched right in with a very organic conversation covering, well obviously tarts, but also imposter syndrome, Dinner by Heston, and how fabulous and absolutely pivotal Catherine is in the narrative, community and success surrounding Tarts Anon.
