Desi Boy Traveler: Eating New Zealand, Cru at Sale St. (Auckland)
Executive Chef Nick Honeyman from Cru at Sale St
Ask any Kiwi what New Zealand food is all about, and they’ll immediately sing you an ode to the country’s free-range meats and farm fresh produce. As we’ve eaten our way down the North and South Islands, we’ve enjoyed some delicious meals that truly celebrate this abundance. It would be impossible to review everything we’ve sampled, so instead we bring you Eating New Zealand – a series of blogs on our most memorable and colorful meals. First up: Cru at Sale St. We loved this meal for it’s pure inventiveness, and even barged our way into the kitchen where Executive Chef Nick Honeyman showed us his surprising sous-vide cooking style. Watch the video at the bottom of this post and stay tuned for more Eating New Zealand updates!
