Henry Onesemo: Tala restaurant founder on the business being awarded a Michelin star

from Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive · host Newstalk ZB

There's been a surge in bookings for the world's first Michelin star Samoan restaurant.  Auckland's Tala was awarded a single star at last night's New Zealand Michelin Guide awards, alongside 14 other star-winners. It was first time the event was held on our shores - after a $6.3 million dollar Government investment.  Restaurant founder and chef Henry Onesemo says he's already noticed some additional interest. "There's like 300 emails that we have to go through today, and it just seems non-stop at the moment." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
