Inside Heston's World

Episode 2 (1x2)

Air date: Apr 07, 2016

The Fat Duck staff and seven tonnes of specialist equipment land in Australia in preparation for opening day. It seems the team have shipped over everything but the kitchen sink! There are 126 iPods (for the restaurant's famed, multi-sensory dish ‘Sound of the Sea’), 106 sauce spoons, 300 champagne glasses, a $20,000 vacuum oven, and a specialist piece of kit interestingly called “The Polar Bear”. With just three weeks their first-ever Australian service, the team must settle into their temporary home, and welcome and train new staff. It's an unfamiliar environment, and the kitchen and restaurant remain are still a work-in-progress, so stresses and strains begin taking their toll. For Heston, things don’t go to plan as he announces an online ticket ballot, only for scalpers to run off with hundreds of prized seats.
