#175 Nick Deligiannias | Audrey's

For me, eating seafood while looking out to sea is what it’s all about and so Audrey’s at the iconic Continental in Sorrento is my dream come true. The dining room is divine. Art Deco curves, coastal pallet, sunshine streaming in and a view of the sea. Plus Audrey’s is part of Scott Pickett’s repertoire of incredible restaurants and I am a long-time fan of Scott and his restaurants. While I have not yet sat down and chatted to Scott for Conversation with a Chef, I have spoken to a lot of his head chefs, and I’ve had some fan girl moments with Scott at openings. Audrey’s is an ode to Scott’s grandmother and the fisherman’s basket fun times they shared and the passion for food and cooking that she instilled in Scott. Audrey’s is helmed by Nick Deligiannis, 2023 Young Chef of the Year, and it couldn’t be in better hands. I spoke to Nick when I was helping compile Broadsheet’s Home, filled with recipes foodies could cook when in lockdown at home. I knew then that this was a young chef who loved what he was doing and had a passion for the industry in general. I was delighted to get the chance to sit down with Nick and hear more.
