        Ben Milgate and Elvis Abrahanowicz - Porteno - Sydney

        Ben and Elvis bring their Argentinean BBQ and rockabilly styles to Auckland for what will be one of the most unique events on the Restaurant Month calendar. Enjoy a wine around the fire while you watch the theatre of meat slow cooking over open flames, this will be a dining event to remember.

        Recently listed as the 'It' chefs by Sydney Morning Herald, Ben and Elvis have been the sweethearts of the Sydney dining scene since opening Bodega in 2006. The 2010 opening of Argentinean BBQ style restaurant Porteno followed with more accolades including Best New Restaurant from Time Out, Gourmet Traveler and the Sydney Morning Herald, who also awarded the boys 2 Chefs Hats and Best Chefs 2013.

        This event is communal dining, please note that you may be sitting at a table with other diners.
