'Crossfire' to fuel Junction Arts Festival with celebrated chefs, Tassie produce

Timbre Kitchen head chef and owner Matt Adams is leading a team of chefs - Massimo Mele (The Silos), Johnny McCoy (Pachinko), Danielle Lefrancois (Hubert & Dan) and Peter Twitchett (Geronimos) - who will work with a combination of all-Tasmanian produce supplied by the Tasmanian Food Company and the Vintage Beef Co, and fire.

"It's a bit of a melting pot of chefs and producers - and then Junction as well, as a festival - so we're throwing things together and making them work," he said.

"We're going to do whole roasted vegetables, lambs on the side that we'll be able to put on top of them, some flatbreads, briskets, some chicken. It should be a bit of fun.

"Junction is about different things coming together, and I think it's good for the industry to have these different businesses working together."

A new barbecue has been specially-built for the occasion, with metal barrels and cross-shaped lamb cookers also to be used for the task.

The Crossfire Kitchen, as the project is called, will be set up at Prince's Square for dinner from Thursday, September 5 to Saturday, September 7, as well as lunch on Saturday and the following Sunday.
