Special + Regional Events 2009 - 'Seconds to the Fore' 2 August
Cutler + Co Gertrude Street Fitzroy on Second of August, 2009 at noon: a sensational Degustation Lunch designed by the next generation
A spotlight on second chefs, second and more humble cuts, and second tier wines
We all started somewhere.
Following on from last year’s phenomenally well-received gastro events with Andrew McConnell and Pietro Porcu, we are delighted to announce our next very special lunch.
Marieke has invited five upcoming second chefs, with their mentor’s blessing, to team together to create a delectable Sunday Degustation where second cuts will shine with the craft of great, intelligent cooking, matched to second tier wines, to be held in the gorgeous space of Andrew McConnell’s’ stunning latest venture,
The final list of collaborating chefs is John Paul Twomey from Cutler + Co, Josh Murphy from Cumulus, Anthony Simone from Simone’s in Bright, Brook Payne from MoMo and Leilani Wolfenden currently at St Judes.
These young chefs might explore culinary memories, forgotten vegetables, molecular techniques, haute barnyard ingredients….There is bound to be a little offal and no doubt some slow cooking too.
At some stage all great chefs worked under a wonderful Master before they came to be recognised in their own right. To name just a few now at their zenith, chefs have included Chris Manfield (Phillip Searle), Geoff Lindsay and Annie Smithers (Stephanie Alexander), Andrew McConnell (Tansy Goode), Greg Malouf (Dennis Hagger), Janni Kyritsis (Gay Bilson), Tetsuya (Tony Bilson)……..
Guests wishing to book whole tables may do so as tables of 6 or 8. Otherwise you will be welcomed at Shared Tables.
Cost is $180 per person, including wines
