Steve Liebmann is a class act, something he showed radio and television audiences on a daily basis during a career in which he started as a fresh-faced 13 year old in his home town of Cooma.

What an amazing life and career that followed. Lucky for us, Steve shares some of his 'pinch me' moments and life-changing experiences that make this 81 year old as charismatic a storyteller today as he was in the halcyon days of the Today Show. As you would expect, given his jounalistic background, Steve has strong opinions on the modern media landscape and he shares those too. One thing that hasn't changed over the years is Steve's special kitchen skill.

And we've got a Roll Poll for voters this week as if plucked from the supermarket cake aisle, with the classic jam roll versus the somewhat mysterious chocolate roll.

Scherri-Lee Biggs is a most interesting human being, with a rich and colourful story to tell - from her teenage modelling days to representing Australia at Miss Universe 2011, to a television career than has now landed her a role as the Melbourne weather presenter on National Nine News.

As a working mum, Scherri-Lee juggles many roles including hiding vegies in spag bol, packing kinder lunches and raiding the news desk snack jar.

The Food Poll is brought to you by the letter P and may or may not include the vegetable pea as well. We pit the pie against the pastie. Which will be the people's popular pastry parcel?

She is a comedy goddess and a romance goddess, but is Effie a kitchen goddess? All will be revealed when everyone's favourite former hairdresser turned superstar joins Sarah and Kevin this week.

As she prepares for her Melbourne International Comedy Festival Show 'Frigid to Feral,' Effie shares some of her worldly thoughts on a smorgasbord of subjects including menopause, coffee, kitchen gadgets and even some from her marital boudoir! Like everything Effie does, it is wickedly unpredictable.

The snack aisle gets a guernsey this week as the Food Poll pits Cheezels against Burger Rings in a preservatives battle for the ages.

'Frigid to Feral' Effie's new show is at the Melbourne Comedy Festival from April 14th. Tickets and show details at www.artscentremelbourne.com.au

Elizabeth Hewson is a wearer of many aprons - home cook, recipe writer, columnist, wife, mother and author of the beautiful and practical new book 'Home Food' (Murdoch Books).

Elizabeth's food philosophy is easy to understand and achievable because, as she says, sometimes dinner just needs to be dinner, not a Hollywood production with bells, whistles, oohs and ahhhs, but comfort food that embraces the imperfection, the mess and the reality of our modern lives. Elizabeth shares her two secret ingredients and even works the old BBQ chook into the show.

Recent show guest Danny McGinlay inspired this week's Food Poll: it's a toastie up against the jaffle.

You can't help but like Danny McGinlay. Not only is he funny, clever, smart (and punctual), he smells good - even on radio and podcasts. One of the hardest-working comedians on the circuit, Danny does it all, from The Front Bar to his Comedy Festival shows, the Danny/ Boyd Bulldogs podcast and his infamous AFL match day banners, his performing plate is always full, but what about the ones in the McGinlay kitchen?

Danny's love of a baked bean jaffle is no laughing matter and his cooking tip highlights a much underrated chicken option.

As well as conducting his own private Twisties poll, Danny has some thoughts on our Food Poll this week as we ask for a yay or nay on cottage cheese.

Luke Darcy is a Western Bulldogs star in his own right and a former high profile media star to boot. These days though, it is being dad to the AFL's hottest property - Sam Darcy - that is shaping his media appearances. But wait, there's more. Sam's eighteen year old brother Will has been drafted to the red, white and blue as well.

Food Bytes dragged Luke away from his parental duties to chat about his life, his dubious kitchen skills, the food that is his kyrptonite and a media career that crossed paths with Sarah's in the early hours of weekday mornings on Triple M's Hot Breakfast with Eddie McGuire, where even the coffee was special.

This week the Food Poll is a Scroll Poll with coffee, custard, cinnamon and cheeseymite scrolls vying for their 'pick me' moment. Which would you choose?

Oh yeah, we also chat about his kitchen skills and some wonderful childhood food memories.

The Food Poll hits the high seas as we line up pan fried barramundi with salmon.

Peter Fisher was part of one of Australia's most successful TV comedy shows. And even though Kingswood Country finished over 40 years ago, people still remember him for his role. But as you will discover in this week's episode, there is much more to Peter's life than playing Craig Bullpitt.

Peter took his acting skills and training to the corporate world with great success. He loves the kitchen with a passion and has also turned his talents to woodwork, creating his own range of chopping boards and kitchen utensils. A man of many talents. Peter shares some wonderful memories from his early career and the Kingswood Country days, including the hilarious appearance of Graham Kennedy.
