Kenny and I are so delighted to have the Westies featured in today's Epicure! Feast your eyes here.
It's a timely reminder for you that the announcement of the inaugural Westies winners, combined with our annual Spring Picnic, is THIS WEEKEND! We really sincerely hope you can make it - we love meeting our readers, we know you will love meeting our winners, and we hope you will come and share in this special celebration of the west. We will be presenting our beautiful commemorative awards, which you really need to see to believe - they're gorgeous.
Here are the details again:
WHERE: Yarraville Gardens (cnr Somerville Rd and Hyde St - we'll be nearer to Somerville Rd)
DATE: Saturday 30 November (this weekend!)
TIME: Picnic starts at 11am; winners announced at noon.
You can bring a picnic rug and make a day of it, or you can drop down to say hi... It's up to you! It's a picnic, so if you would like to bring something for yourself for lunch, or even something to share - that would be lovely. We also have two fantastic food trucks along for the ride.
First up - Happy Camper Pizza is coming along, on only its third official outing. This newie is the baby of WeFo couple Remi and Sonia and runs out of their gorgeous 1965 Airstream camper.
They just had their launch at Post Industrial Design a few weeks ago and although I haven't had a chance to try their wares yet, their pizzas look the bee's knees. Read more at Consider the Sauce.

We also have the very awesome Mr Burger, who are starting early at 11am just for us. My Chicago-born husband goes completely Easter Island whenever any mention is made of perhaps trying something American in Melbourne. Every burger undergoes two grillings - one by the cook who prepares it, and the next by him, who subsequently launches into a lament about how awful Australian burgers are. (I don't think I'll ever stop hearing about the pub burger on Turkish bread he was forced to choke down six or so years ago.)
The only Australian burgers that have the tick of approval are the Station Hotel's (as much for its yum as it is to say its name - "le sandwich" - in a silly French accent)...and...Mr Burger's.

We are missing one essential element - coffee! Despite many attempts, we are yet to secure a coffee truck or cart to be in attendance. Can YOU help? Please get in touch if you can, or if you have any suggestions - Twitter, phone and email deets here.
Lastly, there are even rumours our winners are bringing along some goodies to share! Kenny and I truly hope to see you on Saturday.

There used to be a guy set up outside West Footscray station before the refit was completed ... do you know who I mean? Maybe you could get him for coffee
ReplyDeleteI think that is Bean Rollin'... They can't do it unfortunately. Ditto 92 Degrees.
DeleteNot sure if she'd do it on the weekend but at the ABA Baby's Day Out they got Sheree from the West Footscray Neighbourhood House.
ReplyDelete"Coffee covered, Sheree from WeFo Neighbourhood House is happy to bring her machine and do Coffee tea and chai on the day, in the scout hall. She welcomes the chance to raise some funds for the House, and help out ABA at the same time."
Awesome! I am just worried the lack of power will be an issue? Just called the WFNH now but they're closed, so will try again tomorrow. Thanks Bec!
DeleteAre these bike guys available? http://www.dreuxandghisallo.com/
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, S... I just need to check if Kenny already asked them and if not, I will defo get in touch.
DeleteZomg I seriously wish I could make it for this this weekend --- garr!! Sounds like so much fun. Would love to stuff my face with burgers and pizza under the sun. Have a fun time btw look forward to seeing piks!
ReplyDeleteThanks Winston - sorry you can't make it but we will have some great pics to share!
DeleteDo they have to be west-based business? I used to use Elaine from The Hit Van for events
ReplyDeleteNo, doesn't have to be west-based! I found this listing - is that correct? http://www.whitepages.com.au/business-listing/the-hit-van-1585977
