After wrapping up in 2019, the duo are once against hitting the road to take over Pilot for two nights only.
Wolfers' innovative culinary events have captivated diners through progressive Eastern European food. His menu pays homage to his Jewish heritage, drawing influence from Hungary, Austria and the Middle East.
Front-of-house and sommelier responsibilities have always been managed by Dempsey who had previously worked with Wolfers for four years at Yellow.
The final dinner was in March 2019 at Sunda, after which Wolfers moved to Brisbane where he took over the head chef role at Gerard's Bistro and Dempsey moved on to a sommelier role at Alberto's Lounge in Sydney. Both have since pulled back from full-time hospitality service roles to pursue other projects and are very excited to be able to share Ètelek again.
The duo brings Ètelek to Canberra, hosted by Pilot, promising an unparalleled dining experience on October 31 and November 1.
