“Everyone has different problems nowadays. It’s not like everyone can afford to spend hundreds of dollars per night. But Everybody Eats means everybody eats regardless of what their circumstances are. It’s almost a family meal thing.”
5 Nights at Everybody Eats follows five Wellington chefs as they compete in the Everybody Eats Next Gen Cook-Off competition, using donated food to create a gourmet three-course meal.
In this episode we’re with Tak Tanaka, who’s a chef at Wellington restaurant Field & Green. He’s serving up cauliflower soup, braised lamb or roast carrots in spiced maple w/ fresh gnocchi and sauteed cabbage, and meringue roulade with whipped Dulce de Leche, hokey pokey and cherry syrup.
*Everybody Eats is a New Zealand organisation that runs pay-as-you-feel community restaurants in Wellington and Onehunga.
