Ep 8. Melting Pot

Melbourne, a growing dining destination situated in Australia�۪s state of Victoria is an inviting city where the hip and eclectic coexist with vast culinary diversity. Eric visits the city�۪s most famous shopping spot, the Queen Victoria Market and hits some of the hottest restaurants in town which reflect Melbourne�۪s cultural melting pot including Tonka, Chin Chin and sitting down with chef Shane Delia from Maha. Just outside the city is the home of David Blackmore, a Waygu cattle farmer recognized and embraced by Japanese traditionalists. Eric will get to sample what many regard as the most exclusive cuts of meat.

His culinary diverse experiences in Australia�۪s culture capital inspire Eric to prepare Seared Tandoori Spiced Hamachi with Pickled Cucumbers.
