On Saturday, 16 August, something delicious is happening in the glass-walled dining room of Chefs Warehouse Beau Constantia<\/a>. Two of South Africa\u2019s most respected chefs \u2013 and friends \u2013 Ivor Jones and Wesley Randles, are coming together for a one-night-only collaboration named \u201cWhere the Wild Things Are: A Huntsman Tasting Menu.<\/em>\u201d This isn\u2019t just any collaboration \u2013 it\u2019s a raw, honest, and deeply personal dining experience shaped by fire, and a walk through the wild.<\/p>\n

Just days before the dinner, Ivor and Wesley will head through Elands River Valley in the Eastern Cape for a 2-day hunt on foot. What they find will form the night\u2019s menu \u2013 a true wild-sourced tasting that combines the ruggedness of the veld with the refinement of fine dining.<\/p>\n

An unexpected dinner<\/h4>\n
\n

Hosted at Chefs Warehouse Beau Constantia<\/a>, the evening will unfold across 8-courses, completely based on what Ivor and Wesley find. Diners can look forward to a menu that\u2019s responsibly-sourced, wood-fired, and thoughtfully put together \u2013 with each dish highlighting the different perspectives of the chefs for R1,950 per person, and an option for wine pairing at R600 per person.<\/p>\n

The fun part is seeing how our two worlds collide, Wesley with his grounded, elemental style, and me with something more playful. But at the end of the day, we\u2019re both driven by respect for the ingredient and how it came to be on the plate. \u2013 Ivor Jones<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And what\u2019s more, all profits from the evening will be donated to the Reach For A Dream Foundation<\/a>, making this dinner a truly worthy cause. <\/p>\n
