Well, it was sizzle by name and by nature at our very first Sizzlefest!
Thanks to everyone who came along and braved the heat.
Unfortunately, the extreme weather meant we had some last-minute program changes – including no fire pit – we apologise for any inconvenience caused on the day.
We hope you managed to enjoy some of the smells, tastes and cooking demos all the same.
A big thank you to goes out to Chef Bente Grysbaek for her demos and tastings on fire pit cooking out in Market Square, as well as Prahran Market Ambassador Tobie Puttock who was on the mic. Jonathan from Hagen’s Organic Butcher entertained with his talk all about T-Bone, as well as Paul from Blackhearts & Sparrows who gave a few tips about delicious barbecue drinks (you can read about those over here). And to the many Traders who served up grilled eats and special tastings during the event we say a big cheers!
The results of the inaugural Prahran Market Best Market Grill Competition are:
- Wasshoi for their oh-so-tasty Twice Cooked Pork Belly Don dish – Congrats!
- Paddlewheel for their Kooweerup Sweet Corn barbecued on the cob
- Lee’s Asian Grocer with Tamarind Tree with their BBQ Mushroom skewers
We also have a special judges’ mention going to Libertea’s cold brewed houjicha tea – which paired beautifully with the BBQ eats on the day.
