CULINARY MASTERS 2019, MEL

The fact Shannon Bennett this year anointed Hugh Allen as Vue De Monde’s executive chef speaks volumes of the skills and focus of this young gun.

He may be only 24 and at the helm of the country’s best fine diner - though Hugh wouldn’t have it any other way, able to play and perform with native ingredients and push diners to rethink what such words mean on a plate.

Oh, did we mention he spent three years at Noma, arguably the world’s most famous kitchen, alongside the famed Rene Redzepi?

This will be an intimate evening to experience the best in Australian cuisine and is not to be missed.

Dinner will be followed by exclusive drinks overlooking the city.
