Reading this Melbourne and World's Top 50 Restaurants coverage has me entangled with mixed feelings.. Whilst the coverage was sound considering its Apple & Next Media (bar the small assumptions or mistakes here and there, especially the opening paragraph, which we are all prone to), it actually reflects pretty close to what tourists think in general of Australia and the food culture for the average citizen. It's not helped by the selection of restaurants or visiting suggestions picked by Tourism Australia/Victoria on their tourist map, which actually was Chefs biased or otherwise a little outdated considering I wouldn't have recommended some sites even from 4-5 years ago already...
Guess Aust really needs to up its ante if it really wanted to score bigger on the global food scene!:
