I'm glad my gastronomic guru, Paul Foreman, at last has made it all the way down to Pecora to sample Luke's wares! He called me yesterday to report that on Sunday he had lunched there, and found it as promised by all who have raved about it.
Which makes it even sadder that Luke and Kat will soon be gone from there.
Sounds like everyone is now jumping on the Pecora bandwagon, and trying to get in there to eat before the Luke/Kat departure too.
Thank you Luke and Katrina. You have stamped your indelible mark and made a significent contribution to food in Tasmania, and raised the bar for everyone else - both diners and chefs.

Slow news day? Oh!....and by the way Mr Grumpy called me to validate that maccas was terrible yeterday!
Mr Silly
Rip. The Astor Grill. A slow and painfull death.Details in the muckery today if interested, read between the lines for the full story.
Another scramble for the empty kitchen- watch them line up unless the deal has been done already.
New panini and coffee bar opening in J.Pascal's old Goulburn st shop ? good luck guys the flies are still buzzing around the corpse.
One come ... one goes...

rumor has it that it's one of the crew from 373 - cheap rent, salad rolls and coffee ... should make them a fortune.
Cool ... Upstairs a murder,downstairs a chipper and now a panini bar in an old butchery - what every became of the pizza palace, we had a few good pizza's after a night at the dog house. Great bands ... not so good beer and a pizza - even sir grumpy would have been happy !!!
You may be surprised to learn I did my time at the Dog House many moons ago, anon.
When it had pints of Cooper's and an atmosphere.
What, 20 years ago?....
Sir Grumpy,
are you sure it was only 20 years ago. I used to attend this venue around the same time.
Scary isn't it!!!
Yes only two decades of decadence, christina.
explains the grumpy-ness.
coopers,smoke and loud music.
great place, great times ....
Guess Sir G now pulls beers at the retirement home.
did anyone else see the little article in the Merc on Sunday regarding the prices of ingredients an therefor menus? butter has gone up by 94%! I hope this reached a lot of people and sunk in.
Yes - that was interesting, wasn't it.
Also interesting that it was discussed in great depth a few weeks ago here on the blogs!
I'm glad journalists are happy to gain info from ALL avenues!
FYI - met a couple from melbourne last night, 'accidentally' ended up at Marque IV the night before, they said it was the best restaurant they have ever been to, and they go to all the fancy Melb ones, he said he was salivating - quote unquote..
good work Tas...
Sigh - I am STILL drooling after my last Pecora meal last Friday.
Just for the record we had
Crostini with something really nice on that has escaped me
Tomato and bread soup with Basil oil
Potato Frittata with Squid ink and white anchovy salsa
Stephen had some chocolately caramel thing for dessert which was amazingly decadent and a wonderful savoury type caramel (Katrina said it was made in the South American way with Elgars milk simmered down to nothing over a couple of days with a vanilla pod in it)
I had olive oil cakes with pistachio and some sort of sauce...it was lovely and light and not heavy and tasted sooo good.
Katrina says they are taking April off and then seeing what comes up. They might move into town somewhere and open up, they are taking it a day at a time and seeing what happens. They do however appear to be committed to staying in Tassie (YAH!!!)
Oh goodness, I forgot the BEST bit! The pressed beef shin with salad leaves and shaved nuts. OMG, we shared it and its the first time we have divided equally down the middle so we couldnt say "you had more!"
