Melbourne's hottest new gallery restaurant is all about platforming rising-star chefs
Contemporary$$$$
Built on the premise of platforming young chefs, Parkville restaurant Residence is essentially an incubator, where every year a new rising-star chef will get the opportunity to execute their own dining concept before passing the baton on. The 60-seater, run by Nathen Doyle (Heartattack and Vine, Sunhands) and Cameron Earl (Carlton Wine Room), is in the Potter Museum of Art at the University of Melbourne's Parkville campus.
The first chef in residence is British-born Robbie Noble, whose CV spans Michelin-starred Northcote in England; three-hatted fine diner Vue de Monde; and Clamato, one of the coolest wine bars in Paris. Called Cherrywood, Noble's venue is all about 'refined country cooking' that's nostalgic for his upbringing in West Yorkshire but unafraid of fancy flourishes.
You're going to want to start with a cup of tea. Well, sort of. Listed on the menu as 'Mum's roast chicken', it is in fact a broth that's golden-hued and deeply flavoursome, poured tableside from a retro teapot. Despite a few cheffy additions, including tarragon oil and black garlic, the flavour still channels the original dish.
Love oysters? Love Welsh rarebit? Get the best of both worlds in one bite: Sydney rock oysters served baked, cheesy and Worcestershire-sauced. (If you prefer, you can have yours natural with verjuice granita). Continuing the sea theme, sardine fillets are soused in mezcal, with wafer-thin slices of cucumber layered between. More rustic is the smoked bone marrow with oxtail marmalade – add on pudgy sourdough rolls so you can swipe through all the sauciness.
For a more traditional sweet finish, there's the leatherwood honey tartlet with folds of preserved persimmon. Or you can stay on the savoury train with one of the best-on-ground dishes: a wedge of beautifully burnished leek tarte tatin with a (similarly sized) wedge of 18-month-aged comte cheese.
Good to know: From 8am on weekdays and 11am on Saturdays, Residence also operates as a cafe, with Assembly coffee and tea, Iris pastries, a few sangers and salads, and a small retail area.

Terry Gilliam enjoys watching Donald Trump and Elon Musk argue 'like children in the playground'
Terry Gilliam has almost enjoyed seeing Donald Trump and Elon Musk "go at each other like two children in the playground". The President of the United States and his former friend fell out recently over a proposed spending bill, with the pair taking shots at each other over the past few weeks. Monty Python star Terry told Deadline: "I'm almost finding it enjoyable to listen to Trump and Musk go at each other like two children in the playground. "It's the world's richest man and the world's most powerful man behaving like that." Just this week, the 78-year-old commander-in-chief hit out at his former friend and advisor after the tech mogul declared his intention to start his own political party, the America Party. Although Terry, AGE, admitted it's "fascinating", he did take aim at the way the Trump administration is trying to tackle immigration. He added: "That's kind of fascinating and entertaining, and I think the idea of pushing all those people out of California, in all of America, that's the workforce folks, it isn't going to give more jobs to Americans. "We need immigrants. The same thing happened when Britain left Europe." The filmmaker - who was born in Minnesota, grew up in Los Angeles and later became a naturalised British citizied in 1968 - insisted he has no intention of living in the US again, having formally renounced his citizenship in 2006. He said: "I haven't been back to [live in] America since whenever it was, and I don't intend to. "I think America is in a very difficult position now because Trump and company are quite extraordinary. "On the other hand, he may actually succeed where other people didn't, in a strange way. It's like Richard Nixon, you know, brought about the rapprochement with China." Over the weekend, Tesla boss Musk revealed his plans to set up a political party to give people "back [their] freedom". He wrote on X, which he owns : 'By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it! When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste + graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy. 'Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.' The president fired back on his own Truth Social platform: 'I am saddened to watch Elon Musk go completely 'off the rails,' essentially becoming a TRAIN WRECK over the past five weeks. "He even wants to start a Third Political Party, despite the fact that they have never succeeded in the United States."

King Frederik cozies up with Duchess of Edinburgh at Wimbledon two years after affair scandal that rocked Danish monarchy
King Frederik has appeared inside the iconic royal box at Wimbledon alongside Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh - without his Aussie-born wife Queen Mary. The oak-lined royal box on centre court was established in 1922 and has played host to a glittering array of royals, celebrities and dignitaries in its century-long history. The Danish monarch, 57, sat inside the box on Monday and watched on as Poland's Iga Swiatek defeated Denmark's Clara Tauson in the fourth round. At one point, Frederik was photographed warmly embracing the Duchess of Edinburgh with a kiss on the cheek before they took their seats in the same row. The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh have longstanding ties to both Mary and Frederik and attended their 2004 fairytale wedding in Copenhagen on behalf of the Queen. Both Sophie and Mary hailed from similar middle class backgrounds and had their own careers before marrying into royalty in their early 30s. In 2016, Sophie invited Tasmanian-born Mary to join her in the carriage procession during an appearance at Royal Ascot. Meanwhile, Frederik's mother Queen Margrethe was one of Queen Elizabeth II's dearest friends. Frederik and Sophie were joined by Birgitte, Duchess of Gloucester who also has a special link to the Danish King. The Duchess of Gloucester is Danish by birth and met her future husband Prince Richard while working as a secretary in the Danish embassy in London. The royal-studded appearance comes days after a palace insider claimed that King Charles is pushing for changes to the protocol surrounding the historic royal box. According to The Daily Mail's Royal Editor Rebecca English, King Charles directly appealed to the All England Lawn Tennis Club to allow his former sister-in-law Fergie into the box. "I think it shows a sign of how magnanimous King Charles has been,' Ms English said on Sunday. 'He's made it clear that he will continue his mother's attempts to bring (Fergie) slightly more back into the royal fold." The Duchess of York sat in the box alongside her daughter Princess Eugenie last week for the first time since 1990. Ferguson had previously been forced to sit with the general public at Wimbledon following her 1996 divorce from Prince Andrew.

TikTok star arrested for $60k damage caused to F1 car
Popular British streamer and Tiktokker Angryginge found himself in hot water on the weekend after spending a night behind bars for allegedly causing $60,000 worth of damage to an F1 car. The online star, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, was at the British Grand Prix for the Silverstone Circuit when the seemingly harmless gag turned sour. Angryginge, along with two other streamers he was at the event with Chazza and SamHam, were arrested after allegedly causing more than $60,000 in criminal damage to a BWT Racing Point F1 Team Car, The Sun reports. The ordeal unfolded after Chazza sat in the car, and allegedly damaged it while trying to exit the pink display vehicle — leading to the three of them spending 15-hours in detention before being released without charges. 'On Friday, July 4, Northamptonshire Police received a report that a classic Formula 1 car on display at Silverstone Circuit during the British Grand Prix event had sustained several thousands of pounds worth of damage, which was alleged to have been caused by someone accessing the display stand and climbing into the vehicle,' A Northampton Police spokesperson told The Sun. 'Three men, aged 23, 25 and 27, were arrested on suspicion of causing criminal damage to a vehicle and taken into police custody. The moment Chazza sat in the car when it was allegedly damaged.

After their release, Angryginge took to TikTok, sharing a video outside the police station to his two million followers saying, 'Just got out the penn... 15 hours done, free ginge.'

The 23-year-old then uploaded a 28 minute long YouTube video, showing their footage of the events leading up to the arrest and his explanation afterwards. 'We got arrested and then released because we did nothing wrong, no charge — nothing,' he said outside the station. 'This is mental... (security) accused us of criminal damage of £30,000 (AUD$62,496), we were streaming the whole thing and know full well we didn't damage nothing.'

Credit: X During a live stream following the incident, the content creator claimed they witnessed people getting in and out of the car which led to their friend following suit. They continued to film themselves going about their day, but before they could attend a Red Bull event they had been invited to, security pulled them up and they were taken into custody for an overnight stay. 'It was a funny moment until the cell door shut, let me tell you I'm traumatised, genuinely traumatised,' the video creator said.
