JOURNEYS IN TASTE
Episode 5: Sustainable Taste
Presented By Lexus And Condé Nast International.
MEET NICOLAI ELLITSGAARD
Lexus is proud to partner with inspirational Danish cook Nicolai Ellitsgaard whose philosophy of sustainability and curiosity mirrors the approach taken to create the new Lexus UX.
Chef at the world’s largest and Europe’s first underwater restaurant, we join him as he explores the jagged Norwegian coast in search of authentic ingredients.
Wonder Under Water
The Michelin-starred Under (meaning ‘Wonder’ in Norwegian) dining room is submerged more than 5 metres below the surface of the sea. Modelled on a sunken periscope, the ever evolving seabed is on view to diners through a huge glass wall. When not cooking, Nicolai spends days with his team foraging the local landscape for fresh ingredients.
MEET THE NEW ALL-ELECTRIC UX
As Nicolai travels around the Norwegian coast, the new all-electric Lexus UX offers the best protection against the harsh and unpredictable climate. The unique character of the first Lexus electric vehicle combines striking urban looks with an advanced electric motor delivering powerful performance.
“IT MAKES SENSE TO ME TO USE THINGS THAT ARE IN SEASON RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW.”
Nicolai Ellitsgaard, Head Chef
