Hoovering - Episode 187: Elf Lyons

Welcome to HOOVERING, the podcast about eating. Host, Jessica Fostekew (Guilty Feminist, Motherland) has a frank conversation with an interesting person about gobbling; guzzling; nibbling; scoffing; devouring and wolfing all up… or if you will, hoovering.

In this episode I’m hoovering with comedian, clown, performance artist, teacher and person who I became close mates with in the weirdest ever way, she was the much much younger new girlfriend of an ex-boyfriend who’d very very broken my heart so it’s BONKERS that we became friends but we DID. She’s a wild soul, a truly free creative cat and it was an absolute ride taking her for dinner down at Lewisham’s trendy ‘Model Market’

We ate at Lewishams amazing MODEL MARKET and I can’t link directly to the food vendors because neither are on the blooming website at the moment annoyingly but go there- eat - please. There’s amazing, ever changing guest pop-up street foods and it’s fucking delicious, all of it.
