A message from Shawn Sheather, AGFG Resident Chef/Operations Manager Following on from the release of the Australian Good Food Guide (AGFG) Chef Hat Awards, comes our much-anticipated Readers’ Choice Awards!
“During this time of celebration, we must take a moment to acknowledge the challenges many in the hospitality industry faced during 2019; the most devastating and on the forefront of everyone’s minds, are the raging fires that continue to sweep across much of regional Australia.”
“Despite their own adversity, many within the industry are selflessly undertaking fundraising efforts resulting in hundreds of thousands of dollars being raised.”
“We remind the dining public that one of the strongest forms of support at this time is to continue to go out. Grab your morning coffee, eat at your favourite restaurant and enjoy interstate holidays.”
“It was great to see the country rewarding themselves in 2019. The votes showed a distinct trend towards more luxury accommodation. Additionally, many of the highest votes were for outstanding regional restaurants, indicating a swing towards food tourism experiences.”
