MOJO does Melbourne

Australian restaurateur Luke Mangan is drawing together some of the finest food and wine talent from his home town Melbourne and bringing them to Sydney for a one-night-only cheeky sit-down dinner in his Waterloo warehouse, MOJO.

To put an end to the inter-city rivalry once and for all, MOJO does Melbourne will embrace the cutting-edge dining from south of the border that has got everyone’s talking – from classic laneway eateries to seasonal produce. Without ever having to leave Sydney.

Hosted by Luke, the five-course dinner will feature courses cooked by Gen-Y-wunderkind, Adrian Li from Saigon Sally, Australian-Italian legendary chef Guy Grossi from Melbourne establishment Grossi Florentini, Electrolux Australian Young Chef of the Year Jake Kellie from the Lakeside Mill in Pakenham, and Teage Ezard from must-visit eatery Gingerboy and the two-hatted Ezard.

Paired with canapes on arrival, the menu is designed to take you on a degustation journey that showcases Victorian produce and star dishes from each of the chefs’ repertoires, both past, present and future.

The dinner will be limited to a certain selection of seats, with each guest receiving canapes and a cocktail on arrival starring Melbourne’s Four Pillars gin, followed by four decadent courses created especially for the event to showcase what each of the chefs do best. The menu comes with matching wines from Victoria’s finest vineyards.
