Enjoy cracking lamb dishes from six of Sydney’s top chefs. Help Australia’s leading food-rescue charity, OzHarvest. Clear out all that forgotten foreign currency you’ve got tucked away from overseas trips. ‘Doubleplusgood’, as George Orwell wrote.

This concept becomes reality when The Currency Kitchen, a pop-up restaurant in Sydney’s Redfern, opens for business for five consecutive nights from Tuesday, May 16.

Backed by the We Love Our Lamb campaign, Porteño’s Ben Milage and Elvis Abrahanowicz, Bar Brosé’s Analiese Gregory, Nomad’s Jacqui Challinor, Cho Cho San’s Nic Wong and Momofoku Seiōbo’s Paul Carmichael will serve up lamb dishes from around the world, all inspired by their background, travels and personal experiences.

delicious. caught up with Gregory at the event launch, where she told us her menu of crispy lamb ribs, sweet corn tamale and lamb neck tagine was inspired by her experiences of travelling through and cooking in Morocco.

Other dishes over the five nights include spiced lamb leg tartare from the Porteño boys, a lamb loin curry from Carmichael, koji-glazed lamb rump from Wong and lamb sujuk from Challinor.

Adding to this five-star dining experience, it’s entirely up to diners how much their dinner costs – they just decide what they think their meal is worth then pay in the currency of their choice, from anywhere in the world. All money raised over the five nights goes to help OzHarvest’s work rescuing food that would otherwise go to waste.

And the concept is clearly a popular one – the five nights have already sold out. To add your name to the waiting list, head to thecurrencykitchen.com.au and keep your fingers crossed.
