I had a lovely chat to Jake Furst earlier this year and then had an incredible wine lunch at Cinder, one of the restaurants he oversees. I have also been wanting to talk to his younger brother, Zackary, head chef at Bar Liberty for a while so when I saw they were collaborating on a four-course dinner that channels their Polish roots, I couldn’t think of anything better than hearing all about it from both of them. Zack has just got back from travelling Poland from top to bottom, visiting family and eating all the food and he is eager to share what he discovered over there. The brothers grew up in a big family with 40 or 50 people around at Christmas and lots of food and from hearing them talk, it feels a little like the dinner at Cinder will be a more elevated version of the trestle tables under the carport and the free-flowing vodka, but with the same vibe. It was such a pleasure being part of the easy brotherly chit chat. Jake and Zack have worked together in the past and enjoy jumping on the pans together at family get-togethers so their Polish dinner will be an absolute treat and this conversation was pure delight. Getting to sit down with this year’s AHA (Vic) Chef of the Year, Jake, and the 2021 Young Chef of the Year (Zack) was an incredible opportunity and then to hear them finishing each other’s sentences and planning a trip to Poland together was the absolute dream and I am excited for you to hear this.
