Time Out Chef Showdown with OpenTable

Thanks to OpenTable, Gastrology recently attended Time Out's The Chef Showdown. 

The Showdown was a chance for four up-and-coming chefs to test their culinary creations on the toughest critics out there – the diners! 

Pastuso was the perfect backdrop for the event.

The lunch featured a delightful first course by Zach Furst from Ides - A wonderfully refreshing dish of scallops with camomile.

The second course was presented to us by Dylan Forte from Bomba - A creative and multicultural take on the steak tartare.

The winning dish, the third course was an absolutely moreish dish of perfectly cooked Milawa duck breast with pumpkin custard, duck snow, wood oak log shiitake and crumb. A creation by Punit Fernandes from Merrywell, it was a knockout!

The Chef Showdown concluded on a sweet high with the final course from Jo Barrett from Oakridge - A delectable dessert of Davidson plum, raspberry, peppermint gum and spelt which left us all wanting more.

It was a wonderful time where guests were intrigued by the four-course meal and given the opportunity to vote for their favourite course.
