Sonia's story is so compelling and her background is extraordinary, so you will definitely love this episode! Born and raised in Sydney, Sonia started out as a journalist at uni and then worked as a TV producer on Today Tonight and Sunrise before moving to London where she worked for a TV network there, and then Al Jazeera. She met her partner, who is French, back in Australia and then his job took them to Mumbai where she got pregnant and they had their first child. Her partner, Remi then decided he didn't want to be an engineer any more and suggested that they should start a Pizza Truck, and Sonia became pregnant with twins. They started their food van business in St Kilda but eventually moved it to Footscray and had a 'garage' in Braybrook. Then the Pandemic hit and they started offering takeaway pizzas from their 'garage', until tragedy hit, the week we came out of the lockdown, and one of the trucks exploded, destroying the premises. Thus, Campground Kitchen was born!

When their vans were destroyed, Sonia and Remi were devastated, but the wonderful community spirit in the inner west kicked in and someone started a GoFundMe campaign which raised enough for them to buy and refurbish another truck. From there they decided to start a restaurant and fitted out the 'garage' as a really cool venue. Campground Kitchen only opened its doors in early 2023 but is slowly building up a loyal following. You will be so inspired by Sonia's story.
