Southern Ocean Lodge Executive Chef Asher Blackford took the reins of the kitchen in July 2017, bringing with him a personal approach to food and a fresh drive to work with local food and beverage producers from Kangaroo Island and broader South Australia.
 
Described in Australian Gourmet Traveller as having an ‘earthy, witty, wise’ cuisine style, Asher was immediately taken by the diversity of the landscape on Kangaroo Island and the food and beverages it produces. It’s a connection between produce, people and plate that is at the heart of the dining experience at Southern Ocean Lodge.

“For me, food is an emotional experience. Putting together the day’s menu is really about adding taste to the guest’s experience of Kangaroo Island and about creating enduring, happy memories of a stay at Southern Ocean Lodge,” Asher said.
