What the creator captured
S3 was deeply impressed by the cerebral and creative collaboration between Chef John Shields and Chef Vaughan Mabee, noting that the dishes taught new things about familiar flavors. The creator particularly highlighted the nutty, decadent caviar dish and the aggressive, 'brutal' duck rillettes as standout moments of the evening. Ultimately, S3 found the experience to be an unforgettable fusion of New Zealand's bold whole-animal style and Smyth's innovative fermentation techniques.
