Two of Australiaโs most esteemed hotels have just announced a dining experience not to be missedโฆ for one night only. Jackalopeโs Guy Stanaway (of Doot Doot Doot) and The Old Clare Hotelโs Clayton Wells (of Automata) will come together for the mother of all culinary collaborations, designing a special tasting menu as well as hosting the evening with open arms and delicately crafted dishes.
This tasting menu has been curated by both Executive Chefs, featuring what promises to be โโฆ high quality, seasonal produceโฆโ paired with wine options courtesy of Jackalope Food & Beverage Director, Josef Murray. The full menu has yet to be released, but the key ingredients have been teased by an inside source:
- Artichokes, truffle
- Beetroot, liquorice
- Lamb, green almond
- Meyer lemon, sesame, calendula
So whatโs the burning motivation behind this event? To deliver a celebration of โโฆ true locality through the sensesโฆโ, while also championing a new-age mantra of elevating a stay in order for it to become an experience.
โA hotel stay is not just about providing people with a place to sleep,โ says Timo Bures, General Manager of The Old Clare Hotel.
โItโs providing travellers with programming and experiences, both cultural and culinary.โ
โDoot Doot Doot and Automata are both connected to a hotel,โ says Stanaway.
โWhich allows us an exciting opportunity to serve locals and foodies โ but also inbound visitors a taste of Australiaโs dynamic food and wine offering.โ
The Doot Doot Doot (Jackalope) one night residency will occur on the 30th of August at Automata (The Old Clare Hotel), and vice versa on the 4th of October. The cost will be $110 per-person, with an additional $90 for those who want matching wines.
