A1 & Friends: Kiwi Clambake with Morgan McGlone

Overview

Aussie chef Clayton Wells has no problem manning the kitchen at his Chippendale restaurants Automata and A1 Canteen. But, even so, he's inviting a few (highly lauded) mates over for a series of joint dinner parties at the latter. Next up in the A1 & Friends series, Wells is bringing in Belles Hot Chicken chef and founder Morgan McGlone — and the two of them are throwing a big ol' Kiwi clambake on Monday, August 26.

For $55 each, the menu will start with bowls of clam chowder, clam po' boys topped with remoulade and steamed Tua Tua clams with anchovy butter. All of this will be followed by the main course: a New Zealand-style, one-pot clambake packed with chorizo, sweetcorn and potatoes, all doused in dashi butter.

For drinks, the crew over at NZ's Garage Project will serve up its famed craft brews throughout the night (for an additional cost). There will be four sittings between 6–8pm, with reservations a must via the A1 website or via email.
