Subscriber only BORN and bred in Bundaberg, one proud former resident, alongside her husband, has created a successful business - and you could say it s pretty saucy. Growing up on a sugarcane farm on the north side of Bundaberg s CBD, Susan Plath moved to Melbourne for work in her late 20s, where she met her now husband Kevin Lamont. Together the pair moved to Bright, a small town in the Alpine region with a population of less than 2500 people, where they opened their own North American barbecue styled restaurant. My husband is Canadian and has always been heavily involved in barbecuing, so we started the restaurant where we do deep fried wings with hot sauce and it has a licenced beer garden too, Ms Plath said.
