Presented by Vittoria Coffee and Citi Meet the Victorian Good Food Guide Young Chef of the Year finalists
Victoria's best restaurants celebrated at The Age Good Food Guide Awards
The Age Good Food Guide returns this year in all its glory with hats, scores and awards, including Chef of the Year and Restaurant of the Year.
One of the most influential awards in the Guide's 40-plus-year history has been the Young Chef of the Year Award. Today we reveal this year's six finalists.
Much has been said about the toll COVID inflicted upon the hospitality industry, but the more than 40 award applications from chefs in their 20s revealed only passion, driving ambition and game-changing plans for the future. It was incredible to glimpse this proof that our dining scene has even more exciting heights to hit in the hands of young talent such as this.
The Age Good Food Guide editor, Roslyn Grundy, interviewed the six finalists with a panel of industry stars: Guy Grossi (Grossi Florentino), Philippa Sibley (Hero) and Adam D'Sylva (Coda, Tonka).
