To celebrate the exclusive Paramount+ launch of the Emmy®-nominated series Yellowjackets‘ third season, Paramount+ Australia is partnering with acclaimed Chef Nelly Robinson to unveil a first-of-its-kind feast, inspired by the series’ dark and primal world, at his Sydney cultural odyssey and fine dining venue, Nel Restaurant.
From Tuesday, March 4 to Friday, March 7, the Chef-hatted restaurnt will transport guests into the remote northern wilderness of Yellowjackets - providing an epic backdrop for the divisive degustation.
Nel will serve up an 11-course ‘Eat Your Heart Out’ menu, taking you on an adventurous culinary journey of foraging, to something a little more ear-y.
Over the span of three hours, guests will have to scavenge for their survival, just like the Yellowjackets girls, before the evening takes an unexpected turn and you might find yourself grappling with Shauna's same turmoil...friend, or feast?
Louise Crompton, VP Marketing & Growth Paramount+ Australia spoke about the collaboration:
"To bring to life such an iconic scene in Yellowjackets and invite fans of the show to really feel immersed in something they never anticipated having the chance to be a part of, felt like the best way to celebrate the launch of Season Three on Paramount+.
"We wanted to transport fans straight to the heart of the wilderness and Nelly felt like the perfect partner to bring the idea of such a divisive menu to life. Through this partnership, we have been able to create something that shocks diners, while also producing a breathtakingly delicious menu. Making it a free experience has meant anyone can get involved and enjoy what is such a sensory disruptive experience.”
Chef Nelly shared on creating the divisive degustation:
"To be approached to create a Yellowjackets-inspired menu just felt like the perfect next venture for Nel Restaurant. "For anyone that knows us, they understand we are about pushing the boundaries of what is possible and getting to ask the questions of ‘how do we make an ear appetising?’ Or ‘how can we get someone to dig into a brain?’ was a very exciting quest.
"The answer is obviously in the flavours and while it might not be visually ‘conventionally appetising’, the flavours and aesthetics will most definitely leave you speechless.”
The highly anticipated third season of the SHOWTIME® original Emmy ®-nominated series, landed exclusively on Paramount+ on Friday, February 14.
Equal parts survival epic, psychological horror story and coming-of-age drama, the series chronicles the descent from a complicated but thriving team to savage clans, while also tracking the lives they’ve attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over.
In season three, as Summer arrives, the Yellowjackets face a fragile victory - the brutal Winter that nearly claimed them is finally behind them, but distrust in leadership and tension within the team jeopardise their chances of being rescued.
In the present, long-buried secrets from their pasts begin to surface. As the women fight to keep their lives from unravelling, they must confront a chilling question: who are they really and what dark truths are they hiding from each other and themselves?
