In the heritage-listed Department of Education Building, a specialist team are firing Wagyu rump cap and Blackmore rib eye steaks, and Murray cod finished with pepperberry butter and chives. Veteran restaurateur Nick Hildebrandt joins us to discuss his latest CBD offering, a modern Australian take on classic brasserie dishes. Plus, a Surry Hills pub is bringing back some of its most loved classic pastas with a dish every week, including a 12-hour braised pork shoulder ragu, nostalgic tagliatelle alla bolognese and comforting spaghetti carbonara.
