    Ep 3. Inside a Food Critic’s Mind: Hospitality Design Uncovered

    In this episode, Arielle and Jill peel back the curtain on hospitality through the eye’s of one of Queensland’s most respected food critics, Anooska Tucker-Evans, for an intimate look inside the mind of someone who has seen — and tasted — it all. From first impressions and design dealbreakers to the delicate balance between food, service, and ambience, they explore what truly makes a hospitality experience unforgettable. With candid insights, sharp observations, and a touch of playful speed-dating, this conversation delves into how interiors shape dining memories. From Brisbane’s evolving dining scene to the design mistakes that can derail even the best food, this conversation offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at what makes a restaurant truly unforgettable. A must-listen for designers, restaurateurs, and anyone who believes great meals are about more than what’s on the plate.

    Ep 1. The First Date

    Welcome to the very first episode of A Date With Design…  In this episode, The First Date, we set the tone for what’s to come. Our first Design Date takes us underground to Central, Brisbane — an award-winning hospitality space where history, theatre, and modern dining collide. We experience the venue through a diner’s eye, unpacking first impressions, atmosphere, layout, comfort, and those all-important details that shape how a space feels long after the meal ends. From its layered design narrative to the way food, service, and setting work together, Central becomes our benchmark for what a truly considered hospitality experience looks like. Venue: Central  https://www.centralbne.com.au/ @centralbne Interior Design: JAR Office https://www.jaroffice.com/ @j.ar.office We cover: 00:00 – Introductions 01:00 – The Icebreaker - Our Design Journey 10:20 – The Entrée – Hospitality Design 13:10 – The Main Course – Design Date Review: Central BNE 27:58 – The Spark – Current Design Muse  31:09 – Design Speed Dating 36:03 – The Sweet Bite - Franca Studio Cocktail of the Week - The First Sip Elderflower Spritz A light, floral aperitif to open the evening. 30ml Elderflower Liqueur    15ml Gin 90ml Prosecco Mint Sprigs and Lemon Twist to garnish Ice Build over ice in a wine glass: Elderflower liqueur and gin, topped with prosecco and a splash of soda.
