The OG crew has joined forces for the first time in a long time to bring you this weeks episode of Around The Dinner Table. So much has changed since Cheire, Lorne and Cam all sat down for a podcast and so much continues to change and grow in the Pepper & Me, Cain & Abel and Fat God scene!

Cherie has lots to report since getting back from New York, insights into where to eat, what to see and stories in between. Now the whole team is back, its full steam ahead to our birthday month in August, with our plans for a big birthday bash and also a book launch being refined every week! Sit back, relax and enjoy!

If Lorne could clap on cue, this episode might've started a whole lot smoother... Welcome back to the Dinner Table with Lorne, Em & Cam.

This week we're unpacking the latest NZ brands making headlines for all the wrong reasons, Em discovers a few eye-opening farm-to-plate (and farm-to-fashion) facts that somehow escaped her until now, and Cam brings a collection of "interesting" facts that are all equally questionable.

Then we make the mistake of asking one of the most controversial questions imaginable... what is the most elite type of bread? It's a bold debate to have without Cherie at the table.

Pull up a chair, settle in, and let us know where you stand.

Welcome back to the Around The Dinner Table Podcast! This week, you're joined by Cherie, Em and Cam.

We get a little deeper than usual as we unpack the age-old question: does money really buy happiness? And at what point do you decide you have enough?

We also recap our time at Fieldays, chat about Pepper & Me's upcoming 10th birthday celebrations, and share the excitement around our latest collaboration with Pics Peanut Butter.

Plus, we tackle a very important debate: what is New Zealand's most iconic food? Unsurprisingly, Em and Cam can't seem to agree on a single answer.
