More than 22,000 people are expected to descend on Lyttelton on March 23/24 for the ITM New Zealand Sail Grand Prix. It's the ninth event on this season's 13-event calendar - which is heralded as the biggest ticketed sailing event in the world. But what happens behind the scenes for an event like this? Dan Shanks has an excellent idea - he's executive chef of Venues Otautahi and the person in charge of feeding everyone. And an exceptionally high bar has been set for this Sail GP event: nearly everything on the menu has been sourced locally. Dan joins Kathryn to talk about what it takes to showcase Canterbury's food on the global stage.
