COOKED: Grill Privé – Hoons and Buggers

Utterly absurd, entirely rewarding dinner for bent around hosting and guesting.

A knitted toy clown wearing a hat and an apron. In the pocket of the apron is a knitted carrot and knitted sausages. The clown is holding a knitted banana and knitted pie in each of it's hands. There are cartoon drawings over the top of the photo.
This is a collaged image in four sections. The top left section shows an oyster shell lying open on a piece of dry dough, almost rock-like in appearance. The oyster shell is filled with a green moss-like substance. The entire image is unclear if it is edible or inedible. The top right section shows Chef Jago standing in a home surrounded by kitchen utensils and home artifacts. He is only wearing some navy shorts and an unbuttoned shirt. The bottom left is an outdoor scene of cooking over fire, there are some iron cooking structures, overwhice drape some apples on a branch and other food items cooking away. The bottom right is a grainy close up of Jago's face, he looks deep into the camera, with somewhat lifeless eyes.

  • Curated by: Long Prawn and Hosted by Ecstasy Cookbook

  • Performed by: Harrison Ritchie Jones and Michaela Tancheff

  • Presented by: Melbourne Fringe and Fed Square

A closed-curtain sit-down dinner serving heightened food, art and performance.

Coalescing around the grill will be the world-building cooks Ecstacy Cookbook from the UK, rubbing chops with independent dancer, choreographer and filmmaker Harrison Ritchie Jones.

The thematic meal explores hosting and guesting from one side of the world to the other; through humour, virtuosity, ingredients, and skill sharing, the meal will examine what makes a welcome guest.

This event occurs within the COOKED public BBQ space designed by Mikhail Savin Rodrick Projects and Long Prawn, with BBQ designed and built by Mike Hewson.
