Darren Purchese & Cath Claringbold

The Gary Mehigan Show

They run what has become an iconic Melbourne institute, It's one of the sweetest places you're ever likely to set foot in and it's called Burch and Purchese.
This shop has some of the most exquisite cakes and desserts you can ever imagine, some of my favourites are the Gold bars and the Verrines - you'll have to pop in to see what I mean!
As far as I'm concerned it's run by one of the hardest working hospitality couples in the business, Darren Purchese and Cath Claringbold. The reason I wanted to get them onto the show is because I know just how hard it is to run a hospitality business, and I can't imagine the kind of stresses it would cause when you're running it with your partner.
I wanted to find out all the juicy details behind the domestic, as well as the business partnerships... you know what I mean, the tiffs, the fights, all those things that happen along the way but what I got instead were stories about Ed Sheeran, a billionaire con artist, and believe it or not a Greek island filled with stolen artefacts.
