Eat Drink Blog 2012 - Postcards and Morsels

The Hon. Gail Gago, MLC, Minister for Tourism SA, opened the Eat Drink Blog (#EDB) 2012 Dinner in Adelaide with a warm welcome. My photograph here and excerpts from the opening speech appear with the kind permission of the Minister.

'Good evening and welcome to Adelaide and Eat Drink Blog 2012. It's a pleasure to be here with you to indulge in and celebrate South Australia's premium food and wine. I want to offer a special welcome to those of you from interstate ... and acknowledge the extra effort you have made to be here. It demonstrates your commitment to connect as a blogging community and highlights your passion for food, wine and beer, which translates directly to what food and wine experiences are all about: a coming together a people...  around the family table, a BBQ with friends, restaurants and wine tours or community events such as Farmer's Markets. It's a celebration of all that's good for the soul!'

With those enthusiastic words, and a clear passion for the good things that South Australia has to offer, the Hon. Gail Gago MLC, Minister for Tourism, welcomed Eat Drink Blog 2012 delegates at a dinner in Adelaide recently. The evening was just one of the highlights of an event packed weekend attended by some 80 food bloggers from across Australia. Tours of Adelaide's Central Market, Sunday morning breakfast and an onsite pop up lunch, as well as trips to The Barossa Valley or McLaren Vale, a writing workshop and an all day conference were also on the agenda.
