Sweetbreads Out of Season tells the story of Pat Collins and The Bistro - the scene of Hobart's brief 1960s Bohemia.
In 1968 Tasmania's first full liquor licence for a restaurant went to John Licandro's Martini in Burnie, but there had been wine on the menu at The Bistro in Hobart since 1961. There was nowhere like the cellar restaurant in Collins Street, and nobody like its charismatic maitre'd, "Pat" Collins, by turns charming, annoying and shocking to his drinkers and diners. Pat had achieved a great deal since his inauspicious arrival as a post-war migrant in Melbourne.
