Sydney Festival Fast Festival Feasts

Idea: Go to some restaurants as part of the Sydney Festival Fast Festival Feasts

On their website the Sydney Festival Fast Festival Feasts are said to be "throughout the Festival, between 12noon and 1pm and/or 6pm and 7pm, ... receive a main course with a glass of Stoneleigh wine, a Kronenbourg 1664 beer or a bottle of Tasmanian Rain water for just $30 ... New for 2011 - you can now experience a Premium Fast Festival Feast where you will be treated to two courses with a glass of Stoneleigh Rapaura Series wine or a bottle of Tasmanian Rain sparkling water for just $55." I'm going to definitely be heading to any many of these as I can fit in.

Ones I want to go to include: 

Assiette Proscuitto wrapped ballontine of quail, sauté of corn & celery, crispy quail egg.*Panfried dory, emulsion if mussels and fennel, saffron gnochi.*

Becasse Marinated heirloom vegetables with aged organic grass fed wagyu bresaola.*
Steamed barramundi with shellfish bisque, crushed potatoes and coriander.* 

est. Salad of heart of palm, cucumber, pink grapefruit, red radish, mustard cress.*
Pan roasted mulloway fillet shaved fennel, asparagus, witlof, preserved lemon, dill oil.*

Ash Street Cellars Wagyu skirt steak, roast Portobello mushrooms, porcini puree, salmoriglio.*

Mad Cow Angus flank steak (200g Rangers Valley 300 day grain fed), spicy barbeque sauce with shoestring fries and green salad.*

Ocean Room Ocean tasting plate: pan seared salmon fillet, tuna sushi roll, salt and peppered king prawn.*

Wildfire Wagyu flat iron steak 200g, burnt eggplant, variations on onion, aerated potato ‘veloute', rosemary and oxtail jus.*

Something else I'm a little bit obsessed with: [TOYS] Collective. It is: "a collective born from the desire to prove what the next generation can do when left to their own devices, Taste of Young Sydney [TOYS] is about action: pushing the culinary envelope, rather than trash-talking the status quo. 2010 has seen [TOYS] present two dinners and a cocktail event so far, showcasing chefs Dan Hong (Lotus), Morgan McGlone (Flinders Inn), Mitchell Orr (Josephine Pignolet Young Chef of the Year 2010), Darren Robertson (ex-Tetsuya), Pasi Petanen (Marque Restaurant), Monty Koldrovic (Becasse), Annemarie Rodrigo (Bistrode), Tomislav Martinovic, Yu-ching Lee, & Adriano Zumbo. [TOYS] is not for the faint-hearted, with previous themes being ‘Phat’, ‘Skin & Bones’ and ‘Bubbles’. ... [TOYS] is a moving feast that promises to continue delivering exciting gastronomic events to Sydney." II can't wait for the 2011 events!

Another foodie mention will be the Secret Foodies events of 2011.

There's so many great foodie things to head to this year, I can't wait!

Reviews of these to come.
