What's the key to reinvent an already popular menu?
For me, it was to understand the flavours and textures that Olive's loyal patrons were already used to, and had come to expect and love during a meal with us. Another thing that was important was to take stock of the produce and proteins that diners enjoy the most, and ensure that they remain on the menu. For example, I found that diners really like chicken dishes, so, I came up with the Roast Chicken main course. It features bacon bits and potato roesti which make it a hearty, comforting dish. However, it is spiced with curry powder, which balances the slight bitterness of the kale - new flavours on an old favourite, which jazz up the dish while not alienating it from the diner.
