A lot can happen in 10 years. Rewind a decade and chef Ivor Jones was captaining the heady days of The Test Kitchen by Luke Dale Roberts while chef Jason Kosmas was deep in the early years of the original Chefs Warehouse and Canteen by Liam Tomlin.
A couple of years later, and in a fortuitous turn of fate, the two chefs found themselves swapping roles – with Ivor joining Liam to open Chefs Warehouse at Beau Constantia and Jason joining Luke to head up The Pot Luck Club.
Fast-forward to today, and both chefs are serious culinary personalities in their own right, leading two of the most successful restaurants in Africa.
It’s almost uncanny that the two, who’ve had similar trajectories with the same mentors and business partners, have never worked together before – so when these rock star chefs, mates and creatives decide to do a collab, it’s seriously not to be missed.
The Sunday feast
The menu on each date will feature eight family-style sharing dishes, with four unique dishes created in collaboration by Ivor and Jason, and two dishes each from the Pot Luck Club and Beau archives as well as a couple of surprises in between.
Each of the two über Sunday lunches commences with a glass of Beau Constantia Pas du Nom Cap Classique, a duo of signature oysters, a craft bread course, a cocktail followed by an eight-course family-style menu.
Each guest also takes home a beautiful sweetie box designed by illustrator John Pace and filled with next-level confectionery as a take-away memento of the two special occasions.
