Beyond the Kitchen: Morgan McGlone on Pop-Ups, Fashion, and Fried Chicken

In this episode, we sit down with Morgan McGlone, the founder of Belles Hot Chicken, a venue that has been redefining fried chicken in Australia since 2014. But Morgan’s story isn’t just about food—he’s staged internationally with top chefs, managed models in New York, and hosted over 87 pop-ups and collaborations across the globe. Now at Bar Copains, Morgan continues to blend creativity, business, and a passion for hospitality.

Join us as we explore Morgan’s journey, from shaping Australia’s casual dining scene to rediscovering his roots, and learn what it takes to stay ahead in an ever-evolving industry.
