If a weekend of food, wine, and entertainment sounds like the perfect way to welcome spring, then mark your calendars, Taste in the City is just around the corner.
Taste in the City started as Taste of Coogee in 2013 but has since become Sydney’s favourite foodie festival. This year, from Saturday, September 3 to Sunday, September 4, Taste in the City will come to life in the Entertainment Quarter, Moore Park.
For those new to the festival, expect a line-up of the state’s best food and wine, live cooking workshops, a luxurious long lunch, and entertainment and music for the family.
On Sunday, 100 guests will sit down to the renowned Long Lunch with a sumptuous meal designed by Tom Walton and Jason Roberts and wines supplied by wineries across NSW.
For the younger foodies, 2022 will see the Queen of Gluten-Free Indulgence, Rowie Dillon, host ‘Kids In The Kitchen. Kids looking for a delicious lunch with friends may want to grab a seat at Rowie’s table for a cook-up of their own.
Taste In The City is about taking the weekend at your leisure, supporting Australia’s food, wine and hospitality economy (to the backdrop of live bands and musicians). Rain, hail or shine, Taste In The City has it covered—a cider in the sun or a mulled wine if the weather is a little crisp, enjoy the weekend under the sails of the Entertainment Quarter’s pavilion.
Mexican restaurant chain Mad Mex has dropped a new protein, and it’s one of the most popular street foods in Mexico.
Enter, Chicken Al Pastor. It’s traditionally made with pork and grilled on a spinning rotisserie with a pineapple sitting a top, but Mad Mex has put its own spin on it, serving chicken bathed in an Al Pastor marinade with a touch of juicy pineapple.
You can order the protein-packed filling in your favourite burrito, bowl, quesadilla, nachos, or in a taco.
As always, these things are here for a good time, not a long time. Pop into your local Mad Mex restaurant, order delivery or through the Mad Mex app today.
