Dudley Bryce
Restaurant Manager – JAM
Suburb: Pallarenda.
AKA: Dudldinho, D-unit or Dad.
I’m renowned for: Being that wee Scottish guy.
Only a local would know… We have bats the size of cats and even more unbelievable apparently it is acceptable to go to the supermarket with no shoes on (I haven’t tried it yet).
My most memorable holiday was… I have had fantastic holidays all over the world but being lucky enough to live in North Queensland every day is like a holiday.
Right now I wish I was… out fishing on the Reef.
My favourite day is: Sundays at home with friends and family.
The biggest influence in my life is: Family – my parents for teaching me to be who I am, my wife Lena for supporting me for almost 20 years and my daughter Lola for inspiring me to do better.
The funniest thing that ever happened to me was… You had to be there!
Someone famous I met was: Working in hospitality I have met quite a few but I once had an interesting chat with Jarvis Cocker and Shaun Ryder in a night club.
My motto is: Life is for living.
MY FAVOURITE
Song It’s too hard to narrow it down to one but for nostalgia I’ll say Café del Mar by Energy 52 but it’s probably some techno track I don’t even know the name of.
Shop Essentially Fresh, Butcher on Bundock or Otto’s.
Eat I am I always seek out fresh seasonal produce.
Drink Craft beer, fine wine and single malt.
