Outback Chefs: The gourmet chefs turned station cooks | Wide Open Spaces #6 | ABC Australia

[@Lonewolfmike]

This station hit the LOTTERY with this couple. It isn't too often you get two people who know so much about cooking and can do so much for the people at the station.

[@gatherukinguru3829]

Truly

[@sami6393]

Too nice for those owners

[@4D2M0T]

Yeah I bet they miss them, the chefs helped them refine their palette and now they have to go back to mediocre tucker, it all looked so delicious 😋

[@indiana146]

Great folk regards adie uk

[@jody-annesullivan4547]

What a fantastic couple, and I imagine a blessing to the station family! I am watching this 2 years later.

[@ppastrana1672]

Wow I really love that.

[@John-kl3ue]

What a brilliant couple of older people.Absolute legends

[@usamabashir2271]

Kudos to ABC Australia, it's refreshing to see such humble and truly genuine people in these troubling times.

[@christhong7421]

I didn't realise you could tell 'good people' simply from the sound of their voice. Her voice is so soothing and sincere.... You just want to hug her and love her.

[@stephenslideways9690]

They look so happy together, wish the couple all the best.

[@deltavee2]

Retired, doing a job they obviously enjoy and still walking hand in hand.

[@KalaFull]

As soon as I heard "it's not just cooking it's looking after a group of people, a family" I knew they were in good hands, you'll never have to work a day in your life living by those kind of words.

[@yvonneost12]

That station owner scored a winning pair with these cooks .I hope they pay them well . They are " solid gold " .

[@consciousbeing1188]

Our cattle and sheep stations are the heart and soul of the country... What better compliment than for this one to have two amazing salt-of-the-earth chefs. Great story!

[@annsutherland7286]

Hats of to this couple. I worked as cook and general hand on a cattle station in Queensland 20 years ago (in my 50’s) and loved every minute of it, including frogs in the toilet.

[@petalgirl9960]

This ladies speech/accent is so crisp and glorious. Wow.

[@margo8956]

What a lovely couple, living life to the full. Could learn so much from them. Great story.

[@southo69]

Beautiful and heartwarming - both from the Chef's Point of view, but also the station owners and staff who have been able to experience top quality food.

[@Biloxiblues77]

A combination of experience, passion and true partnership. Unbeatable!

[@kerlyn3582]

Such a simple story but so beautiful...what an inspiration the couple was ... my favourite part - watching the 'pied piper' chicken run, those chickens running after the truck was so classic - WONDERFUL video

[@abcaustralia]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@misterwizz5690]

What an amazing couple, total respect!

[@trevorhart545]

From UK. ABC, great, shows us all that there is life after the government says you are too old. One of my Uncles used to be an engineer on Oil Tankers from Nigeria to the UK. They had a chef called Brian Turner from Yorkshire, late 60s/70, and he created a different dish for each meal throughout the journey, never repeated a dish. UK Brian Turner, in his 70s is still an amazing chef, though haven't seen him on TV for a year now.

[@santillbrezon2161]

These two people are wonderful, top quality chefs.

[@enja001]

This couple are awesome, bet the meals are the highlight of the day

[@gthreesix]

That is definitely the best bang for your buck, true old school cook that have traveled the world and controls every single aspect including growing and butchering!

[@nickinportland]

I love Australians they are basically Texans like me. Love the bush, talk funny, farm stuff. What’s not to like!

[@johnwest194]

give the couple of chefs their own show as they were precious!

[@polljones8921]

Oh bless her. See-yah-bah-ta bread. Cha-bar-ta

[@cameraman655]

Much love from Texas! Queenslanders and Texans are siblings separated by 9,000 miles/14,000 km. I lived in QLD (Brizzie) for a year and a half but always felt more at home the towns much further west, so much like West Texas and the Hill Country.

[@relaxbodymind8229]

The station owner and staff are so lucky to have these couples who cook quality food for them

[@seanpereira6961]

This is an amazing story, thank you ABC

[@merledoughty5787]

Good on you two while you are able do it, what an adventure hard work but again that is what keeps you young

[@shortymcfox2251]

What a lovely couple and how lucky the working family was to have them. It’s nice to see how grateful they were for each other.

[@lima105able]

Feeding & serving is the supreme service. Respect to the couple.

[@billythekid8333]

These two remind me of my grandparents. Amazing. Amongst everything else, gravy should only come from one place, and that’s the beast in question

[@rhys5567]

Lovely story. All of them gems.

[@jeffreywerner6574]

Beautiful story..What a great couple and the station owners so humble.i love our country..

[@miriam2909]

I like to see them go into teaching. Training other couples to do the same . So much to be learnt from them and Australia will benefit!

[@lesfox2010]

Love Landline, so many great stories. A real icon.

This was a wonderful documentary! What a lovely couple with awesome food skills. I love it that they spend quality time together. Even the animals love them!

[@banksiasong]

Delightful and talented chefs. Was very surprised by plainness of the five choices for last orders at the end. Happy travels and good health to them both.

[@pete_bluscorp7718]

Great story, everyone looks very happy.

[@ront2424]

What a fantastic story and a beautiful couple.

[@howgoodisit]

Man i hope im that happy in my relationship when im your age. You guys are killing it! your motivation and drive for life is admirable.

[@shanechostetler9997]

What a blessing to have people who truly enjoy their jobs!

[@jamesmok4426]

Simply amazing to have such good chefs who both like jack of all trades. Wishing them both happiness & pink of health.

[@matthewrinehart2367]

Fusion cooking broadens our palate. Cooks learning from the indigenous people and also adapting recipes from home using available ingredients have made the world of cooking a more interesting and enjoyable place. I so loved Anthony Bourdain's take on regional cuisine.

[@Automedon2]

Exotic and unusual food is ok once in a while, but on a daily basis, I like basic foods. Give me a beef gravy over a reduction any day.

[@christopherdale7017]

These are the stories I like rural property Australia seeing people coming from Another part of the world and giving it ago especially this couple at their age with their experience for what they do and great to see the station owners and their workers and kids show their appreciation towards the couple that feed them it's given to me a goal of doing this one day with the right women.

[@JustAThought155]

The couple are in their mid-70s and working those hours and producing meals like that??? Wow! Gratitude extended to them on all levels. The workers are too young to truly understand what they are witnessing. You don’t find two people like that too often. I’d try and eat everything they prepared, probably. They are gourmet.❤️

[@isabellecompton]

I loved this story !

[@beachobsession29]

The food looks amazing. There lucky to have such good cooks. Retirement is only a number. I hope i can still cook like this in my 70's. Im only 40 now.

[@Mububban23]

If an older workers wants to work, they either A) really need the money, or B) don't need the money but love what they do. Either of those is a good motivator to work hard and do a job well. So if you've gone through lots of younger workers who haven't worked out, give an older worker a go.

[@bh2861]

what a beautiful couple. So lucky to have them helping you :)

[@Handleyman]

Good tucka! 😋 I’ve just had dinner and I’m hungry again watching this!!

[@PS-Straya_M8]

Amazing work ethic I wish the very best for this lovely couple! 😁

[@grahamlwilson]

What a terrific story. Loved it.

[@slaktriffid]

It shows you are never too old....:)

[@jwdickinson643]

what a lovely couple! how better to share love & friendship than by delicious food!

[@sdbplumbing5595]

White sauce with corned beef is the best

[@paulreynolds9003]

Wow. I’ve just turned 60 and kind of thought my days of been able to work abroad are well over because who would want someone my age. But it just goes to show you people of all ages still have value.

[@FAZZRSPC]

I really enjoyed watching this I could have watched them cook for hours it was wonderful to see how happy they were and too see everyone around them being fed like one big happy family all the best you's certainly made my day thank you's

[@StrongFlatWhite]

Amazing couple!! A lifetime of skill put to valuable and much appreciated use. Well done!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@askarindarto664]

worked for a cattle station down in WA few years back and that was one of the loveliest moment of my life. God i miss Australia

[@nigelmorgan3449]

I’ve watched this many times I would say this is one of the best ABC Land line has done Thank you for sharing

[@gregknight293]

Very interesting the daily life of those living and working on a cattle station in Australia. Especially like the cooking and feeding of the hands there.

[@lesliedevlin8501]

Best show on tv thanks land line 👍🖖🖖

[@jacquelinewilson2279]

What a fabulous couple. Intelligent and hard working. Real artists too - the bread etc.

[@jimmyjohnstone5878]

What an amazing pair. All the food looks delicious. I bet the staff are very happy with what they get.

[@tomkitchen2764]

They really are an amazing, dedicated couple.

[@michaelgarland6468]

I grew up on remote places, my dad owned two, shearing time was the best couple of weeks of my life, got a bit of a change although I still love the staples!

[@jennyc1846]

Lovely couple, lovely family. For all the fancy foods its always the basics which win out in the end but what an experience for that couple.

[@anniegregan494]

Omg what a gorgeous vlog, these people are fab chefs, so glad everyone enjoying and valuing these two wonderful chefs

[@costernocht]

What a lovely couple. And thank G_d I watched this on a full stomach!

[@halfabee]

It is good being a chef with unlimited budget. With all that beef around. My son is currently a cook on a fishing vessel in the Atlantic.

[@jeevesponzi5257]

I guess your son has an unlimited budget For fish?

[@sheilam4964]

Two lovely and amazing couples. Thx for doing this, filming it and sharing it with us.

[@kaze987]

I wonder what happened to this couple, since this was filmed in 2018. Lovely souls inside and out, and certainly legends on this station.

[@BlueJazzBoyNZ]

Brilliant. What a great couple...!

[@skonenblades]

First I've heard of 'afternoon smoko.' I love it.

[@johnnunn8688]

What a wonderful pair. The Station will be super-lucky to find a replacement.

[@jaredsharpe5576]

need more ppl like this in the world such a good old cpl

[@skar5541]

Gotta be the best outback cooks out there. Big respect and much love ✌️❤️

[@bradsvidsetc]

Great people. Top story

[@stuartkcalvin]

Great Ep, thanks. Wonderful couple and very appreciative owners.

[@charlesdickens6706]

Forget Ramsey , a TV series could have been made involving this theme and more considering all the characters on the he station from different backgrounds. Different situations for each episode along the lines of MASH series - a melange of MASH, Ramsey n Big Brother. At least I hope a couple of station hands did a brief apprenticeship to em before departure .

[@lukeduke3001]

what lovely people

[@nigelmorgan3449]

To the ABC this is one of your best shows I’ve watched it many times always enjoy landline

[@best7best711]

Those rump steaks look incredible 😍

[@bellaaltman8462]

Thank you so much 😊.Fantastic story🙏👍😊

[@adsincairns]

So glad they had a wonderful experience. I did a season on a sheep farm in western Queensland about twenty years ago and couldn't leave quick enough. It wasn't the location or isolation as much as the people there.

[@colinmayes9446]

Lovely video, a real pleasure to watch people making people happy with food, brilliant, thank you.

[@philharris5021]

Long may you all go on,great story

[@rheffner3]

I hope this couple is paid well. Holy moly, how lucky you are to have them.

[@sharonlanteri2537]

❤❤❤❤Oh my goodness, their energy and work ethic is putting me to shame. Never again will i complain there arnt enough hours in the day. Good on them.👏👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰

[@robertlemoine3500]

Excellent story

[@alisonshanahan1237]

My second time watching this and just as enjoyable. A marvellous experience for all.

[@sallyllewellyn361]

What a fabulous couple and story❤

[@michaelbutler1557]

Great part of the world. I love the Gulf area of Queensland. Great people. The role of good chefs with nutritious food and good hygiene is critical on properties. Great video. Nice story.

[@internationaldirector2917]

Couple remain productive even after 70's prayers for their health God bless.

[@jaydkitt7663]

Absolutely brilliant, good on em This is a great story Hope they still at it👍🏻

[@giannirocco7492]

A retired chef myself I now have a very small catering service for well off clients...I couldn't be happier!

[@1Molehill]

In a world of such negative attitudes. This is such a lovely, gentle story. Made me smile whilst watching it

[@pbdl476]

What an amazing couple and location!

[@indiana146]

Bloody hell im hungry now They couple are amazing

[@wdnicolson]
