MIDSUMMER BBQ AT
BURNT TRUFFLE
In May, Chef owner, Gary Usher, launched a record-breaking
£200k Kickstarter campaign to open a 100-cover restaurant in
Liverpool city centre, with a series of chefs offering to host guest
chef nights to help raise the target.
I, like a great many of our readers put my hand in my pocket to
bid on several events and do our bit to help ensure a great guy can
BBQ at Usher’s Heswall based restaurant, Burnt Truffle, hosted
by some of the UK’s top Chefs, including Michelin-starred Chef
Patron of Midsummer House, Daniel Clifford, Executive Chef of
The Wild Rabbit, Tim Allen, Chef Owner of Alimentum and The
White Horse, Mark Poynton, Collette’s at the Grove’s Head Chef,
Russel Bateman, Head Chef of Midsummer House, Mark Abbott
and Pike & Pine’s Matt Gillan.
So, there we all were stood outside in the rain on August 20th
tucking in to sugar pit cured pork ribs, honey and mustard glazed
pork neck, charred scallions, charred cauliflower, and barbecue
spiced sweetcorn, and washing the whole lot down with copious
amounts of beer and Prosecco.
Despite the typically British weather, we all had a great time and
partied well into the night, and I was really pleased to able to
meet many of you and share our love of food. I will hopefully
see you all again at the next event, but until then I will leave you
with a few words from Gary Usher himself: “I feel so humbled
that Daniel made this happen and want to thank all the chefs and
their teams for a truly unforgettable evening.”
