Did you know that Melbourne will have its last Saturday night of lockdown on 17 Oct 2020? To celebrate this high point and be one in solidarity with the Victorians, Eagle Farm will become the catering hub of the biggest virtual dinner party happening simultaneously in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.
The online isolation degustation, organised by Urban List and Gathar, will feature a four-course dinner curated by Masterchef star Danielle Dixon and prepared by talented chefs across Australia.
Featuring premium ingredients from Australian and Victorian farmers and providores, the dishes include the following below, which you can opt to delivered to your home or the home of a family in Melbourne:
