Our head chef Eelke has a tattoo across his wrists that we all have a good laugh at – "Fail Again, Fail Bettar". We're not sure if it's misspelled ironically or a beautiful proof in the pudding, but the sentiment behind it is something we all work by here at Locavore. Don't let a fear of mistakes stop you from trying great things. Keep trying. Wear the mistakes on your sleeve.

In that spirit, we're sharing a couple of bloopers from the making of this magazine issue. Here's some content that we thought would be really cool but, for a number of reasons, really wasn't. We'll try not to let it stop us from working with chickens again. Fail again, fail bettar.

Welcome to the first stage of our reveal. We can't tell you anything, but we can show you some clues.

OUR NEW PROJECT IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND OPENING Q2 2023.

There’s a great motto that we hold close to our apron-adorned chests here at Locavore…

We think it's important to take some action which demonstrates that creativity and sustainability can work together without compromise. That’s our guiding light for the future of Locavore – for what is NXT.

So, welcome to the first stage of our reveal. Something to whet your appetites and stir your curious minds – some clues and sneak peeks. Get digging and stay tuned as we release more hints along the way...

Introducing LocaLab

The Design

Welcome to a series about our Lab. A journey of new flavours, jars of mystery and bingo moments of edible discovery. (With a fair share of non-edible discoveries along the way).

Our culinary research and development kitchen is designed to explore the diversity of ingredients and techniques used to create new food ideas.

Driven by a desire to use all that nature provides, what hidden gems will we stumble upon?

And what has this got to do with what's NXT?

Close Up Design Materials

Some of you may believe that a detective’s most important tool is their magnifying glass. Get all up in the grill of that evidence and you’re bound to find a missing clue that solves the mystery.

So, here it is. All the evidence in plain sight – right up close. Feast your physical eyes on these materials being used in our adventure and see what you find out. But don’t touch!

It Is A Matter Of Taste

We're quite caught up these days with reducing our footprints. 

We try to be responsible by treading very softly. Our ultimate goal – the sign of any great environmentalist – is to hush through life without leaving a trace.

But maybe we have forgotten that there is another, much better, option.

Do leave one. Be what you do. Express ideas that do good. Get creative with your action.

Here's to the incredible team of people who have partnered with us on this project.

It’s not an easy brief, but doing something different isn’t always meant to be the easy road. 

realise that the space out there is far more interesting, impactful, and potentially serving a positive change... why would you ever look at an old map again?

Thanks to everyone in the ‘Fam’ that joined us on this daunting project (and survived the journey). 

This series is for you. Superstars, the lottaya.
