Nigella Lawson was photographed visiting one of Australia’s best seafood restaurants alongside her head chef Josh Niland, but one small detail got fans talking.

The celebrity chef dined at two-hatted Petermen seafood restaurant in St Leonards on Sydney’s north shore on Thursday, March 28, and wore the exact same pair of shoes as Josh.

Nigella and Josh posed in front of the establishment, each wearing a pair of Birkenstock Boston leather clogs, an “industry secret” loved by chefs for their supportive, lightweight and non-slip design.

The 64-year-old has been traveling around Australia as part of her three-show ‘An Evening with Nigella Lawson’ tour and has been trying out some of the country’s best culinary spots.

She prioritized comfort when she visited Petermen in the $220 shoes Josh had also been wearing while on kitchen duty.
