Melbourne news bite
Another chef who worked for both Marco Pierre White and Gordon Ramsay and once attended a masterclass given by Melbourne's Sharon Bennett is opening a contemporary restaurant on Flinders Lane.
"Flinders Lane is the new Lygon Street, " he said and we plan to do nothing different. Called Variations he plans to openly copy and plaguarise some of the most cherished dishes in Australia including sliders, burgers, Asian street food and a mod Oz variation on tacos.
"You'll be able to start with a Golden Fields lobster roll or a mini wagyu burger, nobu Kingfish and Jalapeno or even a variation on Rosa Mitchell's anti-pasta.
Desserts will steal from the likes of the Phillipa Sibley Snickers Bar and Adriano Zumbo desserts he learnt to cook watching Masterchef episodes on the internet.
"Also we've learnt from Andrew McConnell and Chin Chin and will be launching with a website simultaneoulsy with a social media and press campaign, which will involve posting large parcels of branded merchandize to anyone who is foolish enough to make their mailing address public.
"We'll also bring some lessons I've learnt from dining on Lygon Street, he said. "We'll have hawkers on the door and use cheap bait to get diners in before surprising them with a menu that has two price tiers, one specially designed for tourists.
