OMAKASE RISING • The once-underground scene keeps getting more popular, thanks in part to an influential group of omakase obsessives. CALLUM McDERMOTT takes a seat at one of Australia’s most in-demand tables.

GUILTY PLEASURE • Macca’s soft serve with caviar, KFC and Krug or banana bread with foie? Hospo professionals love few things more than finding out which crazy high-low combos make their tastebuds crackle.

SET THE SCENE • Reverent or rambunctious, understated or over the top, a beautifully laid table turns a meal into an experience. The fineries themselves take many forms across cultures but you know it’s right when each detail builds anticipation for the decadence to come.
