Sunday 23
Cured meats, fine cheeses, preserves, pastries, baked goods and cooking demonstrations? Sounds like a Sunday well spent to us! We think a Sunday of buying delightful delicacies from the
Westfield Chermside Gourmet Markets will even bring a whole week of foodie joy. Gaze, graze and indulge your senses over the range of cured meats, fine cheeses, preserves, pastries, baked goods and more. Or ignite your curiosity in a complimentary cooking demonstration, gardening or barista workshop.
Monday 24
There’s only one way to properly celebrate any national food day, and that’s to spend the entire week hunting down and eating the best that you can find. Waffles being one of our favourite breakfast treats, we were only too happy to start researching early so that we could make the most of National Waffle Day! So tuck into
Brisbane’s best waffles to celebrate the birth of the waffle iron (seriously, look it up).

Feeling the pinch because your tax return wasn’t quite as much as you hoped – and you accidentally pre-spent your anticipated windfall?

You can even be gourmet with pizzas like the Viva Italia, with prosciutto, bocconcini and rocket, or get your veggies in with the I’m a Vego, piled with char grilled pumpkin, zucchini, roast capsicum and basil pesto. Just don’t go spending all your leftover cash on drinks!
