Mark your calendars, internationally renowned chef Nic Watt is set to put on another stellar evening of fine food and wine at the charity event of the year, SKYCITY Variety of Chefs. Hosted and MC’d by much-loved broadcaster Mike McRoberts along with Melissa Davies who will be the second MC of the night. The 31 August event will raise funds for New Zealand’s favourite children’s charity, Variety – the Children’s Charity.
To be held at the SKYCITY Convention Centre, the black-tie event will see Watt and his chosen supporting chefs, including Monique Fiso of Hiakai and Hayden McMillan of Etta in Melbourne, take attendees on a sophisticated exploration of uniquely Kiwi cuisine. Watt, who has been a strong supporter of Variety since 2013 when the idea of a charity dinner was first introduced, says he is ‘looking forward to bringing the event back to its roots and delivering a menu that celebrates New Zealand’s finest local produce and flavours’.
