Step aside fancy dining restaurants, there's a new finger-lickin' spot in NZ.
Kiwi chef Hercules Noble is channelling his inner Colonel, opening a pop-up restaurant called Mr. Sanders, and he reckons it's a dining experience that's anything but your usual fast food scene.
Hercules will be transforming the fried chook classics into a fancy-schmancy five-course set menu with a wine-matching option to go with it.
While he’s keeping the menu hush-hush for now, Hercules hinted: “Without giving too much away, one of the hero dishes will feature fan-favourite Hot & Crispy Boneless, but unlike you’ve ever had it before.”
“I’m experimenting with ways to infuse my iconic ‘Will It Sourdough’ bread with the flavours of KFC Potato & Gravy,” he added.
It’ll all be happening at a popular location on Ponsonby Road between March 20th and 22nd.
Spots are going for $99 a pop, or if you're tempted by a cheeky wine to match your menu, it'll set you back $129.
And I guess it eases the splurge to know all that cash will be going to Surf Life Saving NZ.
Now, I just gotta know if they gave Hercules the secret 11 herbs and spices recipe. And if so, we’ve got a sweet bribe to take it off his hands.
