Introducing Samuel Macbeth - waiter at Goldilocks and Firechief

Sam Macbeth, waiter at Goldilocks and Firechief

Samuel may be a youthful 21 but he's already a veteran in hospitality, having started working at the age of 14 as a café assistant on the Gold Coast. His passion for dance brought him to Melbourne a few months ago and when he is not effortlessly weaving between tables with pizzas piled high he is studying ballet at the National Ballet Theatre and one day hopes to make it to New York.

As a dancer Samuel needs to make sure he refuels and Firechief and Goldilocks certainly sate his appetite. Having worked his way around the menu, Samuel’s predilection for ‘hot stuff’ means he has zoned in on a couple of favourites.

The friarielli pizza consisting of pork sausage, rapé, fior di latter, parmigiano, basil, chillis and extra virgin olive oil is a go-to as is Goldilocks’ baked eggs in a spicy paprika capsicum sauce.

When it comes to pizzas, Samuel is quite the expert. A Macbeth family tradition is a pizza competition and Samuel’s specialty is the Hawaiian as ‘it’s all about the pineapple’. After much in-depth analysis Samuel has concluded that Firechief’s version ‘doesn’t even compare to his’, not because his is superior, but because Firechief’s surpasses his on all levels. Perhaps a Hawaiian-pizza-off is in order?

Introducing Alex Clisby, barista at Goldilocks

Alex Clisby, barista at Goldilocks

Alex is a man who knows coffee. In fact, he just returned from a three-month trip to Europe where he sampled the coffee of Greece, Italy, Spain, Holland, England, France, Germany and the Czech Republic. His verdict? Well, you may be surprised to hear that Alex voted German coffee as #1 – though he diplomatically says that he can only speak for the selected cafes he tried on his travels. If you think another country should take the crown, be sure to let him know!

When he isn’t working the Slayer Espresso machine at Goldilocks, Alex can be found playing drums in his band, The ReFunds. He formed the band with his brothers and they regularly play around Melbourne, for those of you looking to hear some original rock’n’roll music.

Alex has tried most of the dishes at Goldilocks and says his favourite is the pulled pork with fried eggs, Asian salad and herb chilli salsa – one of the unique breakfast options on offer. From the Firechief menu, he recommends the Dorper lamb, with braised saltbush Dorper lamb, goats cheese, toasted almonds, parsley, mint and crushed tomato.

Luckily, Alex is a morning person (it must be hard for baristas who aren’t), so if you’re in need of a smiling face at 8am on a Monday, be sure to drop by and say hello!
