Bondi Beach Episode - Dining Downunder Cooking Show

Literally minutes from Sydney's Central business district, chef Benjamin Christie explores the famous Bondi Beach and visits the Swiss Grand to try their native Australian menu.

In 1851, Edward Smith Hall and Francis O'Brien purchased 200 acres of the Bondi area that embraced almost the whole frontage of Bondi Beach, and it was named the "The Bondi Estate." Between 1855 and 1877 O'Brien purchased his father-in-law's share of the land, renamed the land the "O'Brien Estate," and made the beach and the surrounding land available to the public as a picnic ground and amusement resort. As the beach became increasingly popular, O'Brien threatened to stop public beach access. However, the Municipal Council believed that the Government needed to intervene to make the beach a public reserve. It was not until June 9, 1882, that the Government acted and Bondi Beach finally became a public beach.

These days Bondi Beach is a mecca of dining options reaching from one end of campbell parade to the other. During this episode Benjamin visits Epic Brasserie at the 4.5 star luxury all-suite Swiss Grand Resort and Spa Bondi. The Epic Brasserie showcases modern Australian cuisine with a focus on the finest Seafood available and here dishes like Baby Barramundi wrapped in paperbark and Kangaroo fillet with mango chutney are prepared.

@scoobeedu Nothing wrong with eating roo as it is an extremely healthy meat and sustainably harvesting animals humanely is intelligent resource management. The French eat their national symbol - the cockerel.

As for Mark's accent - he's English. What's your excuse?
