Barossa Legacy Collection Dinner - Brisbane, 19 September 2024

Brisbane born award-winning chef and author Martin Boetz has accumulated 36 chefs’ hats during his restaurant career. His masterful and unique spin on Thai and Southern Chinese cooking has redefined modern Asian cuisine.

He was co-owner and Executive Chef at Longrain Sydney for 14 years, winning best new Restaurant and 2 Chefs’ Hats in its first year, and Longrain Melbourne for 7 years.

Boetz has returned home to Brisbane to open Short Grain; a warm and inviting space which sits within the beautiful brick walls of a heritage listed building, former clothing factory that also housed an asian food store in the ‘90’s.

Banquette seating runs the length of the room under giant windows. The room featuring modern art by Vicki Lee Lee is bathed in natural light. Wooden tables are minimally set until they fill with fragrant Thai inspired dishes Boetz is renowned for.
