Here are a few photos of the Brisbane food bloggers dinner held at Gunshop Cafe, Brisbane's West End earlier this week.
Stradbroke Island rock oysters, tomato and 50 year old sherry vinegar. The oysters were supplied by Michael Dalton at Fino Food. For someone who never eats oysters, I actually ate 6 of these and enjoyed every one.
Seared Hervey Bay scallops, salmon pearls, persimmon and squid ink. The most beautifuly presented meal of the night.
West Queensland wild boar, Morton Bay bug, ham and pineapple. Personally, I didn't enjoy this combination of flavours.
Goondiwindi lamb rack, salsify puree, Toowoomba olives and fresh peas. When everyone at the table starts using their fingers to get the last of the jus on the plate into their mouths, you know this is a winner.
Selection of Queensland cheeses - The Kingaroy Bunya Black Brie was incredible and something I'll be sourcing out for home.
New season peach souffle, raspberry icecream and Queensland vanilla creme anglaise
Ambar Hills wines from the Queensland Granite Belt were served during the evening. I especially enjoyed the 2007 Cabernet Merlot.
FULL DISCLOSURE The dinner was organised on behalf of Brisbane food bloggers by Mel at Chocolate Cheese and Chips and Jason of The Gunshop Cafe. We contributed to the cost of the meal.
