One of the biggest Vivid Food program elements is a two-week residency for New York chef Daniel Humm at Matt Moran's Aria. Humm, who needs no introduction to global gourmands, is the chef and owner of three Michelin-starred Eleven Madison Park. Humm made headlines when he changed the entire menu of the former World's Best 50 Restaurants number-one eatery to a plant-based offering. He'll bring both his team and his visionary approach to cuisine to one of Sydney's most celebrated restaurants from 6-17 June for Vivid Residence.
Vivid Chef Series will welcome more of the world's most exciting chefs as they join forces with some of Sydney's best restaurants, including Kiln, Fred's and Yellow, to create exclusive and never-before-tasted menus. From relaxed to fine dining and from contemporary European to authentic African cuisine, collaborations include award-winning LA chef Jeremy Fox, two Michelin-starred chef Rishi Naleendra from Singapore, and Cape Town's Mmabatho Molefe, one of the World's 50 Best Restaurants 50 Next hospitality pioneers in 2022.
Globally renowned pitmasters and barbecue heroes will take centre stage at Vivid Fire Kitchen, with Firedoor's Lennox Hastie; Australian-born Texas pitmaster and TV celebrity Jess Pryles; Byron Bay's Pip Sumbak; Dave Pynt from Michelin-starred restaurant Burnt Ends in Singapore and more firing up The Cutaway at Barangaroo. Along with cooking demonstrations, Vivid Fire Kitchen gives festivalgoers the unique opportunity to sample dishes from a curated selection of Sydney's hottest dining concepts, offering something for everyone, from casual eateries to acclaimed restaurants.
Vivid Residence, Vivid Chef Series and Vivid Fire Kitchen bolster an already impressive Vivid Food program, including Chefs on the Harbour, Vivid Rooftop Experience at Aster Bar and, following its success in 2022, the Vivid Sydney Dinner at Ivy Ballroom plus many more, all with a nod to the festival's theme, Vivid Sydney, Naturally.
Minister for Jobs and Tourism John Graham said the addition of Vivid Food will deliver even greater economic benefits to the NSW visitor economy and shines a global spotlight on Sydney's restaurant and hospitality industry.
"This is a celebration of NSW food culture. If tourists are not coming to NSW for our food, they should be," Graham said.
"Our fresh ingredients, skilled chefs and multicultural society make our state a foodies dream. It's time to get the word out, and Vivid Food will do exactly that."
Gill Minervini, Vivid Sydney Festival Director, said the launch of Vivid Food was an integral part of the festival's evolution and celebrates an expanded definition of the creative industries in 2023.
"To be recognised as one of the world's best chefs or restaurants takes immense skill, talent and creativity. We're thrilled at the line-up we have created for the first-ever Vivid Food program - the chefs are some of the most creative masters in the culinary space, broadening the creative spotlight from Light, Music and Ideas.
"Vivid Food will enable festivalgoers the opportunity to experience exclusive and never-before-tasted dishes from some of the world's best culinary talent with entry points for everyone, from wholesome street food to high-end dining experiences."
