Show Details

Crown Perth is proud to announce that Modo Mio’s Chef de Cuisine Andrea Tranchero has been selected to represent Australia at the 2013 Pasta World Championships!

As part of the “Italian Cuisine in the World Forum,” Academia Barilla will host the second annual World Pasta Championship at their campus in Parma, Italy, from 12-15 June 2013.

The competition celebrates the most important ingredient of Italian Cuisine along with the talent of chefs of Italian cuisine working outside Italy, and also highlights how this much loved cuisine is cooked and consumed outside of its home country.

Having competed in last year’s inaugural competition, Chef Tranchero has been chosen again from a selection of Australian based Chefs to compete along with Italian Chefs from around the globe, with only four Chefs going through to the finals for the chance to win the prestigious title.

Chef Tranchero is looking forward to impressing the judges with his exquisite spaghetti chitarra with roast chicken, green apple and foie gras.

He will also show off his talents on a world stage, cooking a five-course menu along with two Michelin star Chefs at the Gala dinner on the first night of the forum.

Introducing Andrea Tranchero

Having travelled the globe working in Italy, Paris, USA, Japan, and China, Chef de Cuisine Andrea Tranchero has brought to Modo Mio his superb balance between traditional Italian recipes and his personal contemporary style, as well as some special recipes that have been in his family for generations.

As well as offering a magnificent range of delicious Italian classics, Chef Tranchero has introduced speciality dishes from Piedmont, the northern Italian region where he was born.

“My food is about passion, memories and love. These dishes have been in my family for years, passed down over generations, and truly represent my food philosophy,” says Chef Tranchero.

A graduate of the prestigious ‘Istituto Professionale Alberghiero di Stato’ culinary school in Italy, Chef Tranchero is Michelin trained and has lead the kitchen at well-reputed establishments such as Bice in the Four Seasons Hotel to the world-class Armani Restaurant Ginza, located within the most expensive shopping strip of Tokyo.

Receiving countless accolades throughout his 25 year long career, Chef Tranchero was personally selected to cook for Richard Branson and President of the Italian Republic, Giorgio Napolitano. He credits Claudio Sadler as his invaluable mentor and culinary inspiration.

The Merrywell crowned WA's Best Steak Sandwich winner! - 01 May 2013
We are excited to announce that The Merrywell’s ‘Decadent Cheese Steak Sandwich’ was crowned WA’s Best Steak Sandwich. 
Show Details

The five metropolitan finalists in the competition battled it out in the grand final ‘cook-off,’ with a panel of three judges sampling some of the best steak sandwiches in our state.

“Now in its sixth year, this popular competition continues to raise the gastronomic quality of pub steak sandwiches throughout the state,” said AHA(WA) CEO, Bradley Woods.

The Merrywell’s Chef de Cuisine Rob Ryan served up his unique creation and it was love at first bite for the judges, who included Channel Seven’s Today Tonight reporter Graeme Butler, Paul Murray from 6PR and Tony Vitelli from beverage company Lion.

The panel enjoyed the mouth-watering combination of ingredients in The Merrywell’s steak sandwich, which consists of shaved Wagyu rump, truffle aioli, sticky balsamic, provolone cheese, mushrooms, sautéed onion, chives and sliced pickled beetroot in a fresh bread roll.

“We have a winning combination of delectable ingredients of the highest quality, artisan suppliers who care and a great team who provide the consistency required to cook a fantastic product every time,” said Rob.

With over 150 steak sandwiches served every week at The Merrywell, the decadent take on the traditional steak sandwich has proven to be a popular hit amongst Perth diners.

As a result of the win, The Merrywell has now been entered as a finalist in the AHA-Aon Hotel & Hospitality Awards for Excellence ‘WA’s Best Steak Sandwich’ category.

Crown Perth would like to thank all of our patrons who voted for The Merrywell, and we look forward to your next visit!

Notes to editor:
The Australian Hotels Association (WA) has been on the hunt for WA’s best metropolitan pub steak sandwich.

“The steak sandwich is a highlight of any pub menu because it pulls together everything that is great about a pub, from the home style cooking to the locally grown produce,” said AHA(WA) CEO, Bradley Woods.

Together with the support from Tourism Western Australia and beverage company Lion, makers of James Squire craft beer, the AHA searched metropolitan WA to find the best steak sandwich available at one of the region’s great pubs.

Open to metropolitan venues, the competition was judged by venue patrons and the general public through an online voting system.

The voting process then determined five finalists from the metropolitan area. Each finalist was then invited to compete in the steak sandwich cook-off, held at the AHA Hospitality Expo at Crown Perth on Wednesday, 15 May at 2pm on the Expo Main Stage.
