UP for a Duck? A date with dining destiny?

If you can commit the cash to dining at the incoming Melbourne pop-up of Heston Blumenthal’s legendary Fat Duck restaurant, you now just need some luck.

Kitchen Workshop is a great spot, that I feel is kind of a hidden gem in Melbourne. I had certainly never come across it before I looked on the Crown Casino Website, but as soon as I did I made a reservation.

There’ll also be a four-person chef’s table in the kitchen each service that will cost more.

Feasting on Blumenthal’s crazy culinary creations at Crown will become Australia’s dearest dining experience, more than double the price of its nearest rival Vue de Monde and its 10-course $250 degustation menu served 55 floors up the city’s Rialto skyscraper.

For your dough you’ll get 12 to 15 fantastical, boundary-bending courses over four-plus hours. Blumenthal calls it “a multi-sensory journey of history, nostalgia, emotion and memory”.

The exact menu has not yet been announced but Blumenthal’s classics — Snail Porridge, Mad Hatter’s Tea Party featuring mock turtle soup, and the Sound of the Sea, where diners wear earphones and listen to seagulls and crashing waves while eating seafood and edible sand — will be there.

Blumenthal has defended the bill, promising the full Fat Duck experience when the restaurant ups stumps from its home in Bray, a village outside London, in the new year.

Up to 70 of his service and kitchen staff will also make the six-month move.

Blumenthal says negotiating visas for staff has been the biggest logistical challenge of the project so far, and that staff relocation and shipping vital restaurant equipment had significantly boosted costs.

The chef considered locations in New York, Las Vegas, Dubai, St Tropez, Lake Geneva and the French Alps to temporarily house the Fat Duck, but chose Melbourne for its booming food scene and willingness to try new things.
