[VIDEO] Jindalee | Did You Know This Suburban Chef Trained In Fine-Dining?

By Georgina Auton // Place Graceville

Nestled in the Jindalee Homemaker’s Centre, Bare Bones Society is a buzzing cafe and a favourite among locals.

From the coffee to the food, customers love to stop by anytime for a chat and some nourishing food.

What you might not know is that chef and owner Kym Machin has worked the majority of his career in fine dining and hatted restaurants around Australia.

Kym says while he loved working in three hat restaurants, working 80 hour weeks meant he was beginning to miss out on things with his family like events at his kids’ school.

It was time for a change, and Bare Bones Society was born.

Kym says he aims to bring elements of fine dining to the patrons of Bare Bones Society, but in a more, well, bare bones kind of way!

Simplistic. Elegant. Understated.

We chatted to Kym about his career and Bare Bones Society.
