Print Issue 28

With this edition we’re celebrating Broadsheet’s 10th anniversary, and the people and businesses we’ve grown alongside.

First up: Andrew McConnell, the chef and restaurateur who’s shaped Melbourne dining profoundly in the past decade. Did you know he was once a tour chef for Madonna? We also check in at Yarraville fine diner Navi on its 1st anniversary, visit five new fitness studios and meet at a fashion-forward Australian athleisure label keen to reduce the category’s environmental impact.

The McConnell Effect

Food & DrinkMelbourne dining has transformed profoundly over the past decade. Food that was once out of reach to all but a select few has flooded the middle of the market, and it’s available at whatever time of day you need. Restaurants have become more welcoming, egalitarian and fun. Much of this, we can trace back to one trailblazer: Andrew McConnell of Cumulus Inc, Cutler & Co, Supernormal, the Builders Arms and Marion.
