Our exciting series of delicious. dinners makes its first trip to Brisbane, where GOMA head chef Josue Lopez shares his kitchen with Long Apron’s Cameron Matthews. Together, they’ll create an innovative menu to complement a wonderful evening in incredible surrounds.

Two of Queensland’s brightest culinary stars are coming together at GOMA – Josue ‘Josh’ Lopez’s restaurant at Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art – for an inventive dinner overlooking the Brisbane River. Joining Josue in his kitchen is Cameron Matthews, head chef of the award-winning Long Apron at Spicers Clovelly Estate. Together, the talented pair will deliver ‘Wasted’ – a dining experience where they turn food ‘waste’ into gourmet cuisine.

Snacks of caraway grissini and mushroom caramel, brown butter emulsion and roses, and celeriac tacos kick off the night. They’re followed by Josh’s cauliflower gratin and Cameron’s spanner crab, Jerusalem artichokes and hazelnuts.

Next up is coq au biere, courtesy of Josh, while Cameron serves part of a suckling pig, whey onions, cheese broth and kale oil. To finish off this night of highly innovative food and great conversation, Josh has created a dessert of molasses, juicing carrots, ricotta and grape. Accompanying each course will be wines from QAGOMA wine partner Yering Station by winemaker Brendan Hawker.
