Hayden Quinn and Dan Churchill in new ABC cooking show Surfing the Menu.
The ABC cooking show that launched the careers of Ben O'Donohue and Curtis Stone has been revamped with Hayden Quinn and Dan Churchill taking the reins.
The new 13-part series, Surfing the Menu, which starts on May 22, will explore Quinn and Churchill's love of cooking, surfing, fresh food, travel.
The series is a Noma Films production and is produced by Marian Bartsch and Lance Reynolds.
In this series, Quinn and Churchill head off on an adventure around Australia in a rusty 50-year-old VW Bug, nicknamed GiGi.
On the journey they four-wheel drive in the desert, head to an outback cattle station, share a Tongan feast, learn to sail, snorkel on the Ningaloo and Great Barrier Reefs, catch mud crabs, swim with mantra rays and prove that they’re perhaps the unluckiest fisherman in the country.
They share experiences with Indigenous communities, such as searching underground for native bee nests, and for bush foods and medicines.
They also surf and go horseriding in some remarkable locations.
Along the way they meet passionate food producers – of everything from heritage tomatoes, cheeses, beef, goats, mangoes and herbs, to exotic mushroom, shrimp, rum and salt.
