In 1982, Wolfgang Puck opened his first restaurant, Spago, in West Hollywood.

Chef Tetsuya Wakuda grew up in Hamamatsu, Japan, near Mount Fuji. His love for food was evident from his earliest years, with memories of time spent fishing in the prefecture’s beautiful lakes. After heading to Australia in 1982, Wakuda found his first job as a kitchen hand at Fishwives in Surry Hills. A year later, a chance meeting with Chef Tony Bilson saw Chef Wakuda become a sushi chef at Kinsela. The experience proved to be revelatory as Wakuda learned classical French techniques that would later become the trademark of his approach to cooking.

By 1989, he opened his own restaurant, Tetsuya’s, which quickly became one of the most popular restaurants in Sydney and has been consistently included in the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list. Since 2010, Tetsuya has embarked upon exciting culinary ventures with the opening of Waku Ghin and Wakuda at Marina Bay Sands.

For many food and drink enthusiasts, French cuisine and cooking techniques have long been the benchmark for measuring the best of what gastronomy has to offer. A leading advocate for this instrumental style of cooking is Daniel Boulud. Like many great chefs, he found his early love for food as a young child. Boulud grew up on a farm in Lyon and was often in the kitchen by his grandmother’s side, watching her cook for the family.

His first professional foray into cooking was a series of Michelin Star apprenticeships under celebrated French masters, including Gerard Nandron, Georges Blanc, and Roger Verge. After a four-year tenure in various prestigious hotels and restaurants in Copenhagen, Boulud went to New York in 1982, where his talent exploded and set the cast for his burgeoning culinary empire. From his three Michelin-starred flagship, DANIEL, to his restaurants across the globe, Boulud brings a contemporary appeal to soulful dishes rooted in the French tradition.

Each dish a work of art crafted with precision and passion, indulge in the gastronomic marvel Porc Chou Farc and The Yankee Burger, boasting a succulent Black Angus Patty.
