Description

Venues don’t come more iconic than Opera Bar at the Sydney Opera House. It’s the eve of a new era, with longtime venue managers Solotel on the way out and new stewards Applejack on the way in. We chat to executive chef Fernando Sanchez about work-life balance, women in the industry, reducing food waste and his ‘no dickheads’ policy in the workplace.
