Floriano Pellegrino X MAMA Hobart
Guest Chefs
GCMichelin-starred chef Floriano Pellegrino grew up in his family's agriturismo in Puglia, trained in some of Europe's most revered kitchens, and came home to open Bros' with his partner and collaborator Isabella Potì (who will make an appearance, in the form of a literal chef's kiss). He's joined by Roberto Mele of artisanal bakery MAMA Hobart, whose fermentation obsession runs deep enough to inoculate surplus croissants with koji spores.
Together they're serving a menu that folds fine dining into the traditions of southern Italy: Roberto's grandmother's broad bean purée with MAMA 'focaccietta' and croissant miso; Tasmanian oysters with king oyster mushrooms; wild-shot fallow deer with capers and sardines. Between set courses, things get intimate, with limoncello foam served from a mould of Isabella's lips, which you must kiss and suck to consume. For dessert, a ricotta and pickled mulberry tart constructed from MAMA's flaky sourdough croissant pastry.
