Nigella Lawson was snapped visiting one of Australia’s best seafood restaurants alongside its head chef Josh Niland – but one small detail had fans talking.
The celebrity chef dined at the two-hatted Petermen seafood restaurant in St Leonards on Sydney’s North Shore and wore the exact same pair of shoes as Josh.
Nigella and Josh posed out the front of the establishment each donning a pair of Birkenstock Boston leather Clogs – an ‘industry secret’ loved by chefs for their supportive, lightweight and slip-resistant design.
The 64-year-old has been travelling Australia as part of her three-show ‘An Evening with Nigella Lawson’ tour and has been sampling some of the country’s best culinary hot spots.
She prioritised comfort when visiting Petermen in the $220 footwear which Josh had also been wearing while on duty in the kitchen.
