Prepare your tastebuds because this July Good Food Month presented by Citi is returning to Brisbane.
Back for its eighth year running, the festival will bring together some of Australia’s biggest culinary names for a month of foodie events, kitchen takeovers and collaborations.
The focus this year is to shine a light on home-grown talent and exceptional local produce. So what’s on the line-up? Or should we say, menu?
