His reach extends across continents, having appeared simultaneously on the Canadian, Australian, and American iterations of the franchise.

The venue itself proved instrumental to the evening’s character. AIR presents a contemporary French Asian gastronomic experience articulated through a seasonally curated tasting menu anchored in technical precision and culinary innovation. Drawing inspiration from the interiors of luxury yachts, the dining salon showcases refined maritime accents, bespoke craftsmanship, and sweeping vistas of the riverfront. Guests entered an environment both serene and enveloping, evoking the sensation of boarding a private maritime vessel.

The dinner service unfolded as a deliberate progression of signature compositions, transitioning from delicate coastal expressions to more substantial centerpieces before concluding with an elegant dessert finale. Libations and vintages punctuated the evening’s rhythm, including the signature Herjavec Heat, complemented by pours from Telmont Champagne and a thoughtfully assembled selection of red and white varietals. Louis XIII Cognac punctuated pivotal moments of celebration.

Herjavec responded with his signature wit, sharing that his wife had declared him he looked “very sexy” on the cover—a remark that elicited warm laughter throughout the room.
