00:02Inside this unassuming brick building in the back streets of Mount Gambier is one of South Australia's first Michelin recognised
00:10restaurants.
00:11Wow, we never thought in our minds we would be here.
00:15With a front seat at the kitchen bench, Elementary hope to fill a market for fine dining, making local produce
00:21the hero.
00:22But catering footy club dinners and keeping connections in the country town comes first.
00:27And my brand especially is community. Without community we don't have a restaurant.
00:32If Elementary is inconspicuous, Mayura Station near Millison is anything but.
00:38One of the first places to breed Wagyu beef outside of Japan, it's already an international name.
00:44The steakhouse wants the recognition to spread.
00:47There's a whole smile of other little eateries down here so I think it's, yeah, hopefully the opportunity is going

01:30A catch like the Michelin guide, which was lured to South Australia through government funding, couldn't come at a better
01:37time.
01:38And it's just coming back to normal. The school holidays that we just had, we were fantastically busy.
