The next restaurant from the Tipo 00 crew is … not Italian
James Kelly, a chef with several years' experience at mod British restaurant Lyle's in London, and several years at Melbourne's own Embla, will draw on France, Spain, Italy and the UK for his menus.
'A lot of Harriot is based around James' food,' says Luke Skidmore, a partner in Conferre Group, which includes Osteria Ilaria, Figlia, Grana and Tipo 00, together covering pizza, pasta, fine dining and a wine bar. Harriot will be the group's first restaurant without an Italian identity.
'It's definitely new,' says Skidmore. 'But the idea for myself and Andreas [Papadakis, chef and fellow partner] is to support younger staff members to do a venue they want to do.'

'He loves having a crack at them': US President Donald Trump throws fresh shade at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle during joint press conference with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Scotland
Donald Trump has been accused of throwing fresh shade at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle during a joint press conference with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer last week. The 79-year-old US President, who visited Scotland on an unofficial trip, praised the British royal family before appearing to take a pointed swipe at the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. "Being with Charles, Camilla and everybody, I've got to know a lot of the family members," he said. "They are great people. They are really great people." He then added, "And in that sense, I think the UK is very lucky, you could have people that weren't great people. I don't know if I can say that, but you could have people that weren't." Starmer remained quiet through the remarks, before awkwardly responding: "We're very lucky to have our Royal Family." The moment quickly caught the attention of royal watchers online, with many suggesting Trump was once again "having a crack" at the Sussexes, who stepped back from royal duties in 2020 and now live in California. Speaking on The Royal Report on Sunday, Caroline Di Russo noted that Trump's latest remarks were hardly out of character. "This is definitely not the first time," she said. News Corp columnist Angela Mollard agreed. "He loves having a crack at the Sussexes," she said. "He's said all sorts of things about Meghan for years. He's talked about her being nasty to him, how she's a 'terrible person', how Harry is 'whipped by her' and that 'he's under her thumb'." Mollard also pointed to long-standing speculation over Prince Harry's visa status in the United States. "Of course, there's some beef between Trump and Harry over whether or not he's lied over his immigration papers, because of course, Harry wrote in Spare about taking drugs." She also observed Starmer's attempts to keep the press conference on track. "I just loved watching Keir Starmer," Mollard said. "He was clearly trying to save it from going wrong. Trump's saying lovely things about Charles and Camilla, he adores William obviously… and then you just don't want him to drop them in it, because it's politics- you've got to get on with everybody. "But Trump will always put his two cents in, and he certainly did here. "I think we'll still be hearing more from him in the future about the royal family- and particularly Harry and Meghan." Trump wasn't the only high-profile figure to weigh in on the Sussexes last week. Martha Stewart also raised eyebrows when asked about Meghan's lifestyle brand As Ever during an interview with Yahoo Lifestyle. "It wasn't so much of a dig, per se, but she did get asked about Meghan, and she did say that she 'didn't really know Meghan'… and that she 'hopes she knows what she's talking about'," The Daily Express Royal Reporter Pandora Forsyth told The Royal Report. "And she (Martha)'s quite right. Authenticity online and being a brand is so, so important. In fact, it's key to speaking to your audience- you need to come across as real, and you also need to know what you're talking about." Forsyth said that Meghan has "been called out" over the years, and that her "authenticity has been brought into light". "So I think Martha's just hitting the nail on the head," she said. "She (Meghan) needs to know what she's talking about." Forsyth added that "only time will tell" if the former actress can sustain a legacy in the lifestyle space like Stewart. The Duchess of Sussex, who turned 44 on Monday, took to Instagram to share a short clip featuring her As Ever brand's signature Napa Valley rosé, which sold out less than an hour after it launched on July 1 via the As Ever website. "Goodness in a glass. Right around the corner… Cheers to August!" read the caption.

Japanese sando and vinyl cafe Supernova announces sudden closure
Eating out Food What began with a bang in the Valley has ended just 14 months later, its demise linked to the sale of a nearby sister venue on James Street. Fortitude Valley sando and vinyl café Supernova has closed, serving its last fluffy white Japanese-style sandwich on Friday just past. The venue announced its closure on social media later that day. 'After 14 wonderful months, Supernova has decided to closed its doors,' the post on Instagram read. 'We are incredibly grateful for your support, smiles, and shared moments over endless matches [sic] and katsu sandos. Your encouragement meant the world to us.' The post finished by thanking Supernova's customers and hinting that new venues and ventures would soon come from owner-brothers TH and Chewie Choo. 'That's correct,' Choo said. 'We got hold of the site for a production kitchen – it just happened to have a café attached to it. 'In October, we received an offer on James & Antler that was too good to refuse, quite out of the blue, so we sold it.' Supernova continued until the end of its lease, its appeal as a destination venue with specialty food helping offset its location, but Choo said the lack of pedestrians was ultimately too hard to overcome. The Choos still own and operate Mitch & Antler, their popular Mitchelton café, which opened in early 2023. James & Antler followed later that year, with Supernova announced in April 2024, initially with star chef Kym Machin attached (although that changed pre-opening). A new specialty coffee operator, Fave, is scheduled to open in Supernova's McLachlan Street space on Wednesday.
