Martin Pirc (Punch Lane, Melbourne) - What’s the meaning of a restaurant, anyway?

What’s the meaning of a restaurant, anyway? What’s important about being human?

Martin Pirc has been in hospitality for decades: Punch Lane in Melbourne’s Chinatown has been there for 31 years, doing wine bar before we even knew what wine bars were. Juliet, an adjoining cellar bar, has been around for eight years, and over in Richmond, neighbourhood restaurant Waygood is 10.

We talk about the importance of restaurants in the aftermath of a shocking and traumatic flood which has made Martin reflect and ask some big questions.
