In 2012 Scott became partners in an exciting new project with Eamon Sullivan and Bib and Tucker was born. Following the success of Bib & Tucker, they embarked on their next joint venture, May Street Larder, opening in early 2015 in East Fremantle and at Pogo in 2019.

The dishes at Bib and Tucker are deeply rooted with the elements of nature, The menu being cooked over fire with local woods and the amazing coastline of Western Australia is the inspiration of the menu.

Scott’s take on modern Australian cuisine is to utilise what’s in season at its full potential- utilising the abundance of fresh seafood and proteins that thrive in our clean waters and pastures.

Scott and his team work with native ingredients that are foraged and sourced locally and weave them into the dishes to make them approachable for diners to explore and experience the best West Australia has to offer.

CARMEN BRAIDWOOD GREW UP DREAMING OF BECOMING A POP SINGER, AN ACTRESS OR THE WIFEOF PRINCE WILLIAM.

Failing at all three, she took a vow of silence and joined a monastery. Not really — this would have been a very different biography in that case — she dusted herself off and developed new goals, the biggest being to make a life from radio, journalism and television. Sources across Australia report she has been doing ‘a pretty decent job’ of this for the past 22 years, working with Channel 9, 96fm and most recently, 882 6PR. It’s just as well — the monastery had terrible internet speeds.

Braidwood started her media career in Western Australia as a producer on radio working on 882 6PR and Hit 92.9. She graduated to working the mic as a music announcer at 97.3 Coast FM and 6KG Kalgoorlie and later as a newsreader for Mix 94.5 and Hit 92.9. She woo-ed audiences across Victoria for five years as co-host of the Ace Radio Network’s breakfast show before packing her bags and going to sit on the beach, practice yoga and read the news for Gold Coast’s Sea FM. That was where she sat when the top brass at 96fm called, an opporutnity to return to her home city too good to refuse.

Carmen likes pina coladas and getting caught in the rain, but prefers an icy cold bottle of bubbles and outdoor activities in the sunshine. Carmen loves to talk — in particular about health, functional/dysfunctional families and travel — and for a run of 7 years, lent her voice to co-hosting 96fm Perth’s breakfast show, “Carmen & Fitzi”.
