You know I love a good food festival and Taste of Sydney is a great one.
Set in Sydney’s Centennial Park there is an impressive roster of some of the best restaurants in Sydney each serving up two to three signature dishes. Demos, feature attractions and celebrity chefs every way you look, and even exhibition tents where you can discover products over 100 Australian producers.
Taste of Sydney 2013 is this weekend, 14-17 March!
Last year I not only ended up as the sole photographer for the ‘Best in Taste’ awards on the night of the launch, but had already won a double pass from Jenius and got to go back a second day with RJ in tow.
The mouthwatering list of restaurants this year includes:
- Efendy
- Popolo
- The Woods
- Ananas Bar and Brasserie – James Privett
- Three Blue Ducks
- The Cut Bar and Grill
- Four in Hand / 4Fourteen
- L’étoile
- Saké
- Jonah’s Whale Beach
- Biota Dining
- Muse Dining
- Kitchen by Mike
- Longrain
- Porteno
- Claude’s
You can view the menus here.
A full schedule of activities and attractions means you’ll be able to pop in on top chefs in the Bertolli Taste Kitchen, pick up hints and tips at Dilmah Chef’s Skillery sessions and perfect your cocktail party skills in a Sensology “Art of Cocktail Making’ class amongst other events.
With some of my faves on the list and some others I’ve been wanting to try for ages it should be a great weekend.
While I can’t make Thursday evening this year I’ll be there on Friday during the day and again with RJ either Saturday or Sunday – wanna join me??

Thanks to Taste of Sydney and Stellar PR for the passes.
Have fun!!Wish I was there
There was an old man who always smiled with glee
who wanted to go to Taste of Sydney for free
Porteno was his fave, he exclaimed out aloud
where the cows are big and quite endowed
If you find this funny or you think it disturbs
then let me go and try the “BBQ Cheese with Honey, lemon and Herbs!”
How’s that?…LOL
A zombie whose stomach was needy
Went online to get a food freebie.
Surfed upon the blog 84th and 3rd,
And thought, “My word, isn’t she’s a bird!
And she’s offering me free tix
To stuff myself with delicious mix
My choice is otak-otak by Ipoh on York
Made from prawn brains, fish brains, no pork!
Steamed to perfection on a boiling stove
Could send even an undead to heaven above!”
A taste of Sydney,
Bad wolf did smile
Three little pigs?
It’s been a while,
Fassnidge has four,
With beautiful tails,
Oh give me that suckling pig
The wolf loudly wails.
I’ll huff and I’ll puff ’til I get them Colin Fassnidge!
Please can we all go….
To P-P-P-P Porteno…
