Welcome Back


Back to more formally recap vol 19.

Our brilliant 25 year old aussie chefs, Tobi Fox & Cal Fernie took over the We The Bench_ kitchen and discussed their plans for a debut concept in the city, taking the leap to new york, and served the following:

FRIED PEANUTS, LIME LEAF
whole red chili · lemongrass · crispy garlic & shallots

OYSTERS, BONE MARROW
roasted oysters · bone marrow butter

TUNA CRUDO, HUSK CHERRY & SUNGOLD SALSA
shallots · thai chili vinaigrette

SHAVED FENNEL SALAD, CASTELVETRANO OLIVES, GOUDA
mint · pistachios · orange vinaigrette

CONFIT CHICKEN, HARRISSA, CHERMOULA
fried squash · mint · raisins · fresno chili · chickpeas

PORTOLOKIPITA, WHIPPED CREAM
cinnamon · orange ze

After dinner, Miss Grass greeted guests with a surprise under the table (literally) and we sent everyone to the roof to enjoy in some light nyc rainfall overlooking the manhattan bridge.

It was wet so we came back inside for Tim West of Bandit to discuss starting a brand as a perfected singular product, how “community” is marketing speak for treating your people right, and the world building influences that shape the activations and creative direction behind the hottest brand in running.

Chris Dunc of Camp Studios talked about funding creators to make feature films, taking paths that dont have a blueprint (cold emailing the country of Switzerland into a partnership) and their debut film coming out in 4 cities (happening now, go look)

Jewel Posniak did a live demo of her (patent pending…) music production software and answered questions on what’s going on. Only her second ever live demo, much more on the way for her in the coming months.

Thank you to Society de la Rassi, Rabble Wine and M.Chapoutier for the wine. We love you dearly

We also donated all revenue to 3 charities.
