Justin Burke (Pastry Chef - North Carolina) - a loss of smell and taste

This week on Dirty Linen, we're hearing voices from around the world. Justin Burke is a pastry chef in North Carolina. He tells us about the US mess, what it was like when he had COVID, and the devastation of 'recovering' but losing his sense of smell and taste. We also talk homophobia in kitchens, marginalisation in food generally, and we decide that poke cakes need to become a thing in Australia.
