Free pop-up masterclass with top chefs coming to Glasgow
The event, which will be held at The Social Hub on Thursday, May 8, is being organised as a teaser for the first-ever Meatopia Glasgow. Chefs Nick Watkins of El Perro Negro, Robin Aitken from Margo, Ashley Bennett of Ka Pao, and Dean Parker of Celentano's will be in attendance. Nick Watkins (Image: Supplied) They will be grilling prime dry-aged Scotch beef, specially sourced from Scottish farms by Quality Meat Scotland. The chefs will also be on hand to discuss their methods and explain why they believe seasoning with salt and grilling over charcoal is the best way to serve premium beef. Mat Kemp, creative director of Meatopia, said: "This pop-up is an amazing opportunity to showcase some of the best naturally raised beef in the world, and what can be achieved simply using the oldest cooking method known to man, fire. Robin Aitken (Image: Supplied) "How often do you get a chance to enjoy steak cooked over live fire right in the heart of town from some of Scotland's top chefs? "We couldn't resist bringing a little smokey surprise to Merchant City to get Glasgow fired up for what's to come." The pop-up event is set to take place from noon to 2pm, or until the meat runs out. The event is being held ahead of the three-day Meatopia Glasgow festival, which will take place from June 6 to 8 at SWG3. Dean Parker (Image: Supplied) The festival is a celebration of chefs cooking over live fire and is known for its commitment to locally and ethically sourced produce, sustainability, and global culinary talent. The line-up for the festival includes American pitmaster Pat Martin, Hattem Mattar, the world's first Arab pitmaster, and fire-cooking icons like Melissa Thompson, Maureen Tyne, and the Hang Fire Southern Kitchen crew.
