Calombaris is also well-known as one of MasterChef Australia’s Judges, often stepping into a concerned or comforting role when contestants are under pressure, as he strives to inspire and teach them, whilst pushing them to tap into their full culinary potential and reach beyond their comfort zones.
Calombaris has his elite network of 10 restaurants in Australia, including The Press Club, Gazi, Hellenic Republic and his souvlaki bar – Jimmy Grants. He says, “I’m in the kitchen mainly at The Press Club, but I enjoy dining with my family and friends at all of my venues.”

He will also hold a Masterclass, demonstrating how he prepares his signature dishes.
