As part of Guest Chef Series No. 3, we’re opening up the conversation at EXP. for an afternoon with Aaron Ward of Bathers’ Pavilion Restaurant , our own Frank Fawkner , and Dylan Abdoo Dylan Abdoo of Newcastle Greens
Join us on Monday 9 November for a FREE Q&A exploring the people, ideas and philosophies behind the food we cook and grow. From the paths that brought each of them here to their approach to seasonality and produce, it’s a chance to hear directly from three people who care deeply about what ends up on the plate. Dylan will also bring along a produce table, sharing what’s in season right now and what makes it special from a grower’s perspective.
Monday 9 November | 3:30–4:30pm
EXP. Restaurant, Hunter Valley
FREE to attend. All are welcome.
Whether you work in hospitality, grow produce, or simply love understanding more about the food you eat, we’d love you to join us.
With thanks to our generous sponsor, J&H Commercial Services , for helping make experiences like this possible.
A note for those joining us for dinner: only a few 8:30pm seatings remain across both Guest Chef Series evenings, Sunday 8 and Monday 9 November so please be sure to make your reservation soon. We look forward to seeing you there.
