Big Sam Young is a culinary tour de force, with a unique cooking style and a big, bold personality that has earned him a name as one of Australia’s most celebrated chefs. Known for transforming crowd-favourite dishes into over-the-top dining experiences, Young is a die-hard foodie and a genuine entertainer, and this month, Kiwis have the chance to enjoy both his hosting prowess and exceptional fare at Bivacco on September 25th.
Young has spent time in the kitchens of some of Australia’s most-known eateries — from Totti’s to Mr Wong, as well as his own neighbourhood bistro, S’more, which he opened in 2022 with his partner, cult chef Grace Chen (aka Super Banana). But it’s perhaps his pop-ups and bespoke, private experiences that the chef is best known for — something he is bringing across the ditch to discerning diners in Auckland this month, for a one-night-only event.
This exclusive evening features a four-course set menu with optional matched wines, showcasing Young’s decadent dishes inspired by his global travels. The menu includes a selection of snacks such as wagyu tartare and scallop crudo, a signature lobster pasta featuring local New Zealand crayfish, roasted Atlantic toothfish, and the timeless S’more coffee and tea creme caramel for dessert. Sam will also be presenting some exceptional, limited-edition dishes available for pre-purchase one week before the event, beginning this Wednesday (18th September).
Priced at $165 per person, the evening includes a flute of Moet Rose on arrival, four exquisite courses, and an unforgettable dining experience at one of the city’s most-loved eateries.
