Stories of food, hospitality & culture told by those who lived them.
A podcast by Tropico Collective
Table 20
#1 - Jean Christoph Le Bian - From France to Australia one kitchen at a time.
In this episode of Table 20, we sit down with Jean-Christoph “JC” Le Bian, a French chef whose story bridges the rustic farmlands of Brittany and the refined kitchens of Australia.
Rooted in a childhood surrounded by fresh produce and family traditions, JC’s journey takes us from harvesting vegetables with his parents to enduring the intensity of French culinary schools and high-end restaurants. Along the way, he shares how curiosity, humility, and an openness to other cultures shaped both his cooking and his character.
Together, Gustavo and JC explore the meaning of craft, resilience, and the pursuit of growth — reminding us that behind every plate, there’s a story of learning, adaptation, and purpose.
