Episode description
Introducing Lachie Sheridan, the creative force behind the viral social media account3 "Perth Dude Food." With an impressive 15-year background as a chef, Lachie's culinary journey has been nothing short of remarkable.
After transitioning away from full-time restaurant work around 2013, Lachie ventured into catering and also took on roles as a business development and food sales account manager with a couple of Perth-based food service companies. The unexpected twist of the pandemic led him to Santini Grill & the Old Laundry, where he seamlessly adapted to the changing landscape.
In 2020, Lachie embarked on an amusing venture by launching a food-themed Instagram account. This playful platform served as a light-hearted response to lackluster food bloggers and critics, reflecting his genuine disdain for those who lacked authentic hospitality experience.
What sets Lachie apart is his rare blend of profound culinary knowledge, a sincere appreciation for his subjects, and an innate comfort within kitchen settings. This fusion of traits brings a distinct charm to his content, rendering it both captivating and endearing.
The real surprise came with Lachie's foray into TikTok, where his presence exploded in popularity. This unforeseen development prompted him to shift gears once more, crafting food-related content not only for personal accounts but also for others, including significant businesses. At present, his days are consumed with creating engaging food content that resonates far beyond his initial expectations.
