The pan handler who was behind the former previously two-hatted Igni, and acclaimed Thai eatery Songbird has thrown open the doors to The Snake Pit, a casual Thai venue in buzzy Little Malop Street in the heart of the CBD.
He sold his Tacos y Liqour business earlier this year and his new venue is small and low key.
Turner is serving up dishes like flame-licked crying tiger beef with tangy nam jim jaew dipping sauce, as well as house-made sai oua, the northern Thai sausage.
I first encountered Turner almost two decades ago when he was running the outstanding Loam eatery outside Geelong. He's travelled a bit since, including a spell in Nashville.
With stints at NOMA and El Celler de Can Roca on his CV, his food is always inspiring.
Pedestrianised Little Malop Street precinct has enjoyed a number of new openings in recent months including French restaurant Lalou Bistro a Vin, Gelato Messina, Honky Cat Saloon and RUNE Pizza.
The Snake Pit is open for lunch Friday to Sunday, and dinner Wednesday to Sunday. It is at 87 Little Malop Street, Geelong
