Melbourne Good Food Month: hot chicken parties, banquet feasts, and more through November

Once again The Age Good Food Month brings the month-long food and drink festival down from Sydney to the world’s most livable city and its surrounds, tasking some of Victoria’s finest with more than 100 events designed to show off the best, most creative sides of the state’s lauded food and beverage scene. From today until the end of November, Melbourne and regional victory will turn into a playground for hot chickens parties, banquest feasts, and a tightly curated program from superstar chefs like Ben Shewry and Stephanie Alexander along with international guests like London’s Fergus Henderson, who will be designing a one day only (November 27th) spring picnic with local culinary heroes.

Seeing as the city will host the World’s 50 Best Restaurants program next year, it’s only right that two of the heavy hitters on the list (Central in Lima and Melbourne’s very own Attica) team up for a “Peru meets Australia” dinner (November 24th).

While Central meets Attica is one of the standout signature events of the program, it is by no means the extent of what this year’s Good Food Month has planned; of course there are the Night Noodle Markets which will be kicking off from November 10th to 27th; a Young Chef’s Lunch on November 20th with the likes of Alex Xinis and Jarrod Di Blasi; a special preview of 2017 opening Longsong (the upstairs bar to Longrain) on November 18th; and – one of our most anticipated – the “ultimate late-night fried chicken party” at the one and only Belles Hot Chicken with five different fried chicken dishes inspired by various restaurants all over the globe (think Chongquing Chicken Wings, a Chicken & Waffles dish, and a Chick-fil-A American-style biscuit that’s been stuffed with fried chicken).

Want more? Try a Polish Festival at Federation Square, a regional East Malvern Food & Wine Festival, or an epic Southern BBQ sessions at Fancy Hanks with guests Duncan Welgemoed (Adelaide’s Africola) and Morgan McGlone (of the aforementioned almighty Belles Hot Chicken. Don’t forget the classic Let’s Do Lunch sessions and Hats Off Dinners.
