Eat.Drink.Fad? Panel Discussion Series


Why is there a Burger Bar on almost every street corner? How important are small bars for Perth’s cultural development? Where will we go for coffee in the year 2020? Join us on Fridays in March to get the answers from the experts!

European Foods are hosting a series of panel discussions throughout March to generate dynamic discussion about trends in Perth’s culinary landscape. Panels of industry and media experts will identify which trends are here to stay, and which ones are passing fads. Members of the public are invited to attend.

So far in the series we have had a discussion on Burger Bars and why they are suddenly proliferating - that discussion included experts such as food writer and critic Marg Johnson, Abstract Gourmet blogger Matt O’Donohue, Flipside’s Hamish Fleming and Missy Moo’s Emily Mansbridge.

The was the session on small bars that included the Small Bar Association’s Paul Fowler, the Australian Hospitality Association’s Paul Brockechlager, local food editor, writer and critic Jane Cornes, Helvetica’s David Gillman and Gary Beadle of Bar 399 and Five Bar in a dynamic discussion about how small bars are redefining nights out in Perth.

Finally, this Friday will see Cafe 2020 where panellists such as West Coast Institute of Training Lecturer Wendy Roach, Cafe Grendel coffee blogger Michael Carroll, and Greens & Co and Oxford 130’s Stuart Lofthouse forecast what we’ll do for coffee in 2020. If the 1980s was the decade of the frothy, Monto Bianco style cappuccino, and the 1990s was about the domination of the latte, the twenty-first century turned to alternative brewing methods such as the siphon. What will 2020 bring?

When: This Friday, 25th March, 3-4pm.

Where: European Foods is located at 95 Aberdeen St, Northbridge. Phone 9227 2296.
