Restaurant Trends Event Wrap Up
Restaurant Trends Event Wrap Up
On Thursday, March 4th, 2010, over 50 people gathered in the private room at Le Cirque for Restaurant Trends.
The evening included a discussion and Q&A with Australian Executive Chefs Craig Hopson, from Le Cirque and Shaun Hergatt, from SHO Shaun Hergatt Restaurant. The discussion moderator is Divya Gugnani from ‘Behind the Burner’.
Divya kept the audience thinking with a number of great topics such as fine dining vs casual dining, calorie count on menus and Australian wines and products vs American wines and products.
Craig spoke about his past influences starting from his beginnings in Perth, to Sydney, Europe and the USA. Shaun spoke of his greatest influence in his cooking life - his Scandinavian grandmother and growing up in a culinary-oriented family in Cairns.
After the discussion guests were treated to Craig and Shaun’s signature canapés, some of which included Frog Legs Tempura with Bacon and Foie gras, Bite size Carpet bag Steak, Tartare of Blue Fin Tuna with Black Sesame Tuille and Maine Diver Scallops with a Nori Waistcoat just to name a few.
Yellingbo Gold Olive Oil were the sponsors for the evening and their olive oil was used in all the kitchen prep and cooking for the Chefs canapés. An olive oil tasting station was also set up for guests to try this creamy, nutty and buttery olive oil from the Yarra Valley in Victoria, Australia. Many thanks to Jeremy and Carolina for their support of Restaurant Trends. Please click here to learn more about Yellingbo Olive Oil or to purchase online.
Guests also enjoyed Australian sparkling wine and red and white wines from Negociants - Jansz Tasmania NV Rosé, Pewsey Vale Riesling 2009, Vasse Felix Cabernet 2004. It was fabulous to have Australian wines served at Le Cirque for the evening. Many thanks to Negociants for their support.
