A week or so ago, I was invited to an early lunch at such an upmarket establishment — the spacious, month-old Italian restaurant called Sinn in Sandton. Black, grey and red colour scheme, golden lights low, plush black leather and dark wood furniture, with a panoramic vista over Sandton’s my-brash-capitalist-glass-cathedral-is-bigger-than-yours landscape but a better view is towards the luxurious open-plan kitchen. From that kitchen, I have just been served freshly baked sourdough bread and homemade butter by the wonderfully attentive waiter who, like all the staff, is dressed in black with fancy black-and-red sneakers. In the centre of the kitchen is the maestro chef Enrico Persegani, not performative like Gordon “Fucking” Ramsey, but more a low-key conductor making sure his relatively new orchestra in the kitchen, on the floor and behind the two bars don’t play a sour note to the fast filling restaurant. There are several big tables of giggling people who will for a change make their bosses pay, big time. And hope the expensive booze doesn’t mean Monday morning is spent with HR issues about vaguely remembered misdemeanours with Clive from IT. I am not a big fan of food fusions — I remember a place in Pretoria where they served boerewors pizza. I bet it is still going strong but that moer-on-top style is not for me, dankie. Sinn is doing a bit of the fusion thing too — but promises it is in a subtle, playful way, sticking firmly to classic Italian tradition. Put differently, it is finding harmony between Italian tradition and innovatio
