About the Chefs

Chef Eric Kwek:
Head Chef at Mr Tompkins in Melbourne, brings a rich blend of cultural heritage, classical training, and a deep connection to nature into his cooking. Born and raised Peranakan in Singapore, Eric’s early exposure to the vibrant mix of Southeast Asian cuisines sparked a lifelong passion for food. His talent for butchery led him to win a Meat & Livestock Australia competition, paving the way for his culinary journey in Australia. Eric has since honed his craft in top Melbourne kitchens, blending French techniques with bold, game-centric flavours. An avid bowhunter and passionate advocate for ethical, sustainable eating, he connects deeply with the land—bringing a grounded, nature-inspired approach to every dish he creates.

Chef Justin Edwards:
Raised on a farm in Toowoomba, Queensland, brings a deep-rooted connection to the land into every aspect of his cooking. Starting his culinary journey at just 15 and landing his first head chef role by 17, Justin quickly developed a fearless and self-taught approach to flavour and technique. His style is a vibrant reflection of global influences—from Modern Australian and European to American, Mexican, and Indian—always underpinned by a commitment to ethical sourcing and minimal-waste practices. A passionate bowhunter, forager, and fisherman, Justin’s philosophy is grounded in understanding where food comes from, building relationships with small-scale farmers, and respecting the natural world. His cooking celebrates each ingredient’s origin and essence, creating dishes that are both thoughtful and boldly original.
