Ten Year Retrospective dinner at Taxi Kitchen

GETTING THE BAND BACK TOGETHER, TEN YEARS ON

Executive Chef Tony Twitchett is getting the band back together for some culinary reminiscing, to remember ten years since the venue was The Age Good Food Guide’s Restaurant of the Year in 2006.

Founding Executive Chef Michael Lambie will return to the pans with Tony Twitchett and current Head Chef Sam Forte, while the familiar faces of Dan Sims, Scott Borg and Owen Brockfield will team up with newly announced venue manager Simon Morseto, to provide the excellent service that has been synonymous with Taxi for twelve years since the opening of the iconic venue in Federation Square

“We wanted to gather the band back together and serve a ten course menu of dishes that have become our favourites – from when we won Restaurant of the Year and New Restaurant of the Year in the 2006 Age Good Food Guide,” said Executive Chef Tony Twitchett. “So many of these dishes have become iconic in Melbourne’s culinary lexicon and people have been returning for a decade to enjoy Szechuan Duck, Wagyu tataki, candied pork and Barramundi, to name a few,” he contin ued.

“It will be a thrill to be back to Taxi Kitchen and cooking with Tony and his team. He and I worked very well together and I am looking forward to seeing how some of the dishes we created together over the years have evolved,” said Michael Lambie.

The ten course degustation will be paired with some of Victoria’ s best known wine names and matched by the opening Sommelier of Taxi, Dan Sims and current sommelier Ben Preston. “ My time at Taxi Dining Room was a pivotal point in my career; a time to really 'step up’ and take on the wine challenge. The restaurant was also a training ground for so many brilliant sommeliers and hospitality professionals, many of whom went on to be awarded and applauded. To walk the floors again with the 2006 crew again will be a hilarious pleasure,” said Sims

The Ten Year Retrospective dinner will be held on Monday October 10

Guests will include the 2006 Age Good Food Guide editors and the aforementioned former staff. It will be a night to remember for another decade.
