Show us some theatre
Tasting Australia and our visitors want to see stallholders show off exactly how their food is made; the cooking and assembly of your dishes should be on proud display, creating a feast for the senses and whetting the appetite for more.
As the festival takes place in autumn, fire is the centrepiece of this public dining space – Town Square Vendors should focus on flipping, whipping, smoking, steaming, grilling, braising, pulling, and presenting irresistible food.
Tasting Australia embraces the diversity of Adelaide’s food culture and welcomes recipes and dishes from all around the world.
We understand that some preparation methods and cooking styles don’t allow for an element of theatre. In the past, vendors have negotiated this with amazing displays of goods or spice towers, fantastic frontage, excellent customer service and fun staff. Applications will therefore be judged fairly on a holistic sense of presence and visual appeal, with mock-ups, pictures, and drawings welcome (and may be requested as part of the review process to ensure the best fit both logistically and visually).
