The first time I was invited to Eat Street, in 2011, I was so excited I could barely contain it. The prospect of a night involving the best chefs from Melbourne with all the amazing food and wine that they create was almost more than I could have dreamt of. And then I got gastro and was devastated to inform my friend I wouldn’t be able to accompany her. I even had an outfit picked out!
And so the long 12 month wait for the night of the year to roll around again began.
In 2012 I attended my first Eat Street and it was everything I had imagined. The annual gourmet charity event raises money for Redkite (and has done for the past 13 years) by bringing together 50 of Melbourne’s top chefs and wineries, preparing their signature dishes and vino’s for the 800 guests.
This coming 28 May, I will again be indulging for a good cause. I’ve even chosen the outfit. Held at the Sofitel Melbourne on Collins, the 2013 event promises to be a night of food, frivolity, and fundraising, with entertainment from Lisa Edwards and Baby Grand, circus performers, clowns, and The Wackys as the Ringmasters of the evening. The Circus theme will be one not to be missed.
If you want to help eat and drink your way through the evening, whilst supporting an excellent cause, I very much recommend Eat Street.
