It's curious, because it's an age old thing. Years ago I worked at a well known fine dining UK restaurant that cooked hispi/sweetheart cabbage over coals until it was super charred, then a few mins in a hot oven and finally served with a tom/shallot dressing on the top. It was extremely popular and had such an incredible flavour.

I've had 150day and 250day steaks there. 150 was better for me. Def the best beef dish I've had anywhere.

Food looks amazing as someone who worked in a Kitchen in Australia the amount of heart & dedication this Chef has is awesome. Good Aussie wood and good quality food. Definitely need to go here!

I really want to visit this restaurant. Will be top of my list for sure next time I'm in Australia. I remember the first time I came across Lennox the first time I ate at Etxebarri years ago. It seems he really is honoring his time there with his restaurant.

I hope this guys keeps going until I get to Sydney. Amazing. Congratulations for really turning this into a craft

Have seen this chef in another show, amazing chef with the heart on the "right" place. Thx guys for this amazing portrait :)

“I don’t always eat 🥩 But when I do. I choose the best 🔥” should be the motto of this place Cheers from San Diego California 🇺🇸

I HAVE to make it to Aussie and go on food tour. It always looks amazing when restaurants get profiled on here.

Kudos to you guys. Here in Cape Town most of us have dedicated rooms almost like kitchens dedicated to cooking on open fire. Yes, we make fires indoors. It's so common it's weird if you do not have an indoor spot dedicated for this. It's almost compulsory to have one of these rooms. Specifically when entertaining guest etc. Gotta hand it to you guys for adopting the open flame approach. There simply is nothing better. Well done!

Amazing looking steak. Bucket list. For people outside of Australia the Coral Trout is to die for. Definitely the best fish I have tasted. Will be targeting sometime in January to book. Cant wait.

Was amazing on chefs table and I’m stoked to see him on eater for sure 😁🤙

Seems like a truely amazing restaurant, would love to dine there some day

Sydneysider here. Thanks for sharing this sterling representative of the incredible food scene here.

This is the best cooking show on U Tube by far

love these vids so much

Grilled romaine lettuce is great!used to do it at a french bistro I worked at.That Coral fish looks beautiful

Mind + hardwork = perfection

I'll be visiting Sydney soon and I can't wait to experience the culinary delights at Firedoor.

Remember GRamsay yelling at dude who served him a grilled salad?

That grilled trout looks amazing

love this!

Woah. This is my first introduction to Chef Lennox. His style of cooking and crafting dishes embodies art and story telling. really impressed, wish I could taste his food 🔥

I have eaten there and I liked food so much even end of working as a dishy there. One of the best meals I ever had in my life. The food, atmosphere was amazing. They prepare everything under fire using local ingredients; so you get such an amazing taste. On the flip side working there was not the best experience.
