This time on his road trip Adam is headed to the town of Beechworth in Victoria. It’s home to a two-hatted restaurant called Provenance, run by renowned chef Michael Ryan. Michael has won countless awards and accolades for his Japanese-inspired food and now in the shadow of bushfires and the pandemic, Michael is pushing one of Australia’s most decorated restaurants into bold new areas. He has developed Provenance Grocer, where he sells his homemade seasonal produce on the side. Adam's journey continues to one of the most innovative regions in the world right now, the Adelaide Hills in South Australia. Known for its avant-garde, cool-climate wines, the region’s winemakers are doing it tough. Fire tore through The Hills over summer and one local vintner, David Bowley, lost his whole vineyard. Adam visits Vinteloper wines and collects some pinot noir to cook a dish unique to Chinese Australian cuisine: Billy Kee pork. Last stop on Adams Road Trip for Good he visits the NSW town of Batlow. Considered “undefendable”, Batlow’s residents were told to evacuate and give their town up but the local CFS defied the odds and saved the town. Sadly many of the town's orchards were lost and recovery will take time, so Adam stops off at local grower, Ralph Wilson’s roadside stall to hear more about Batlow and buys some apples to make the Chinese dessert, toffee apple fritters.
