Adam Wolfers out at Anyday, in at Kosta’s Takeaway
After being made redundant from the city’s hottest restaurant group, a star chef returns in style with a viral Sydney import.
How do you know Benji Terkalas is serious about sandwiches? When he hires one of the country’s foremost Middle Eastern chefs as consultant.
Adam Wolfers will be in the kitchen for the Brisbane debut of Terkalas’ Kosta’s Takeaway’s this weekend at Gasworks Plaza. The former Anyday, Gerard’s, Monopole, Etelek and Yellow chef joined earlier this month after being made redundant from Anyday in late January.
Kosta’s first opened at Rockdale in Sydney and was an immediate hit. Shops in Rosebery and Sydney city at Circular Quay, Elizabeth Street and Martin Place have since followed. Key to its success, beyond the service and neat branding? Chef-made sandwiches.
“It came about through a mate down in Sydney, Nathan Brindle [formerly head chef at Ester], who was helping Benji with Kosta’s,” Wolfers says. “I told him I’d finished up at Anyday and he mentioned Benji was moving up to Brisbane and needed someone to give him a hand.”
