Overview
In the years since Bar Saracen sadly closed its doors, former Head Chef Tom Sarafian has become king of the food pop-up, lending his culinary prowess with modern Middle Eastern flavours to popular kitchen residencies across Melbourne. Now, he's coming to Young Hearts in Windsor.
On Sunday, June 25, celebrated chef Tom Safarian will be hosting a pop-up, bringing some seriously good Middle Eastern Food (and yes, that hummus) across two sessions.
Dishes and canapes will circulate throughout the day. Expect a great line-up of DJs, a dedicated hummus shop and a hand-mixed martini on arrival. Nice touch, that.
Other dishes include Safarian's take on a classic pinxto, green olives stuff with labne, and Lebanese steak tartare.
"I'm excited to reconnect with this pocket of Melbourne where I grew up," Safarian says. "Young Hearts have a really cool space up there. I love music and I haven't done a party like this before."
And don't worry, this isn't going to be one of those canape events where you need to chase it down with a post-party Big Mac. "No one's going home hungry," Safarian laughs. "It won't be one of those nights where you leave the bar and get a kebab. In fact, we'll be serving you one there."
Kebabs? Check. Free-flowing hummus? Check. Mini grilled pitas filled with charcoal chicken, French fries, tourn and pickled cucumbers? Check check.
Tickets are $75 and spaces are limited. If hummus is your thing, don't hang about. Session 1 runs from 12pm–2pm. Session 2 runs from 2.30pm–4.30pm.
