Irishman Sean Flanagan began his food career working in Michellen-star restaurants in London before meeting his Australian wife, Sarah Peatfield. The duo now own and operate Wildgrain on the Mornington Peninsula. A restaurant with a paddock-to-plate ethos, with the majority of produce being organically grown by Sean himself.
