Christopher Thé is the mastermind behind Australia's most Instagrammed dessert: Black Star Pastry's strawberry-watermelon cake. Now, he's back in the inner-west with a new cafe, Hearthe, that champions native ingredients. Think bacon and egg rolls dressed in bush tomato relish and paperbark cake. Also: pull your own beer at Buddy's in Newtown and Manly Pacific reopens with a $30 million facelift. 

Featured in today’s episode:
