Why DO chef jackets have a double row of buttons? We asked random people on the streets of Carlton… the answers were all over the place. The real reason is kind of genius. Drop your comment below to see if you know why. (Shoutout to the jackets we’ve been living in lately 🙌)

We’ve cooked with Thermomix for years here at Al Dente - so when we say the new TM7 is different, we mean it. Quieter than anything we’ve used, with ingredient presets that dial in the perfect speed and time for you. And this? Just the start of what it can do. 🤌

🦪 $2 OYSTERS AT AL DENTE

From the pristine waters of St Helens, Tasmania, to the tables of Melbourne.

We’ve been lucky enough to get our hands on Salty Lip Oysters, expertly farmed by Paul Viney in St Helens, Tasmania. And tonight, until sold out, they’re just $2!

A collab between TTM Logistics, Southern Cold Link, and Clamms Seafood ensures these oysters travel overnight under strict cold-chain conditions, ensuring they arrive in Melbourne in peak condition for our oyster lovers.

This special collaboration supports an even greater cause, with proceeds being directed to , helping provide meals and support to those doing it tough in our community.

Premium Tasmanian oysters. Seamless logistics. Community impact. For shucks sake, bloody buonissimo.

This is why chefs don’t run at the Olympics

21/05/2026

Turns out years of running around the kitchen finally prepared us for the Olympics.

One thing we learned though… if you’re going to run all day, you better wear the right uniform.

That’s why we wear Ace Chef Jackets. Comfortable, durable, breathable, and made for chefs that never stop moving. From prep to service, they survive everything we put them through daily.

Kitchen or Olympics, same rules apply.
Check their website 🤌
