Jump in the Fire: Ester
Sydney favourite Ester is taking over Mary's Newtown for one night of fried chicken, falafel and funky wines.
Overview
Mary's monthly Monday night party is back. Jump in the Fire sees Australia's best chefs and sommeliers put their mark on the Mary's brand with one-off food and wine feasts. And the next one features a local favourite.
From 5pm on Monday, August 26, award-winning chef Mat Lindsay of Chippendale's Ester will takeover the Mary's Newtown kitchen. He'll be serving up his spin on Mary's signatures, including a herbed falafel burger with tahini and harissa, fried dukkah chicken with garlic sauce and halal snack pack-style loaded fries.
Alongside the eats, sommelier Nick Stewart will be pouring a range of natural wines — with blends created for Ester by the likes of Basket Range Wines, Commune of Buttons and Manon. Sydney's Wildflower Brewing and Blending and Gippsland's Memento Mori have also brewed special beers for the night, made using Ester's woodfired sourdough.
And, of course, there will be raucous tunes blasting, curated by local musicians and Mary's mates. Entry to the monthly event remains free, but remember it's a small joint, so get in early to nab a table for your crew.
