Congratulations to all of the winners. A much deserved bunch of individuals who have all helped make the food scene what it is in this city over the past year (and in some cases many more). May Melbourne always remain a great city in which to eat and drink! And to finish off this image focused, word light post, a picture of one of the food highlights of last night, Bombe Metaxa meringue topped chocolate caramel ice-cream, sprayed with brandy and flamed!
