I sat down with Luke Dale Roberts at Salon Restaurant in The Biscuit Mill and we spoke of many things. His creative drive is enormous, and the desire to explore his craft through an eclectic range of cooking techniques and styles is strong with him. It was an effortless chat with one of the greats in our restaurant universe that touched on The Test Kitchen, Fledgelings, Pot Luck Club and the evolution of Salon. A cracker of a conversation. <a href='https://salonct.co.za/home/'>Salon</a>  <ul> <li>On Instagram @a_table_inthecorner</li> <li>Cover image sketched by Courtney Cara Lawson</li> <li>All profile portraits by Russel Wasserfall unless otherwise credited</li> </ul>
