About the author

Hayden Quinn

Hayden is a lover of food, travel, culture and all things outdoors. Growing up on Sydney's Northern Beaches with his family, Hayden was never far from the ocean or from cooking with his mum and family, who served up incredible meals night in and night out. It was hard for him to not fall in love with food, the ocean, good people and of course the healthy lifestyle he loves so much. Cooking is second nature to Hayden and it was his passion for travel and experiencing new food and cultures that led him to apply for the series 3 of MasterChef Australia.

                  I also like to travel and visit places like the shores of Australia. On the way, exploring new food makes the journey memorable. Along the beautiful Gold Coast, Australia, there are many amazing food places. Out of them, the one that stands out is Wendy’s Fast Food in Surfers Paradise. Their Aussie-style burgers and sandwiches menu is delicious and fresh. For anyone curious about the complete range of menu items Wendy’s Australia Gold Coast outlet has to offer, visit this site:
