About the Chefs:

Joshua Osborne:
Joshua Osborne brings 15 years of hospitality experience to this special collaboration with close friend, Chef Ken. He has honed his skills at top Sydney establishments like Jonah's and Quay. Joshua's passion for food led him to Singapore for two years, immersing himself in its vibrant culinary scene. Upon returning, he joined The Saint Peter Group at the Fish Butchery and Charcoal Fish, working alongside Joshua Niland. This experience deepened his knowledge, which he shared with colleagues and clients. Joshua now continues his culinary journey at Salesforce in Circular Quay. Joshua's cooking highlights local produce, sustainable practices, and the nuanced flavours from his time in Asia.

Ken Yong: Head Chef Ken, is a passionate and creative chef who blends modern and traditional cooking styles. His imaginative dishes focus on fresh, quality produce and the ‘farm to fork’ concept, aiming for seasonality and sustainability while minimising waste.
Ken began his career in small, family-run eateries like Essenza Italian in Surry Hills, before moving on to hatted establishments such as Jonah’s, Tetsuya’s, Quay, and Oncore by Clare Smyth. To expand his skills, he has worked at Singapore’s Waku Ghin, Malaysia’s TEN Japanese Fine Dining, and Sydney’s Bridge Room. Before joining Coogee Wine Room, Ken was Sous Chef alongside Josh Niland at Petermen in St. Leonards.
