Then his empire was dealt another crushing blow by the floods earlier this year that hit SE Qld. But aside from those challenges & how he dealt with them, Matt Moran also shares his views on the “no meat” meat movement – particularly tricky when you are a producer of meat, like Matt; what’s next in post-Covid dining and he reveals a secret recipe for the humble roast chook.
