Bankstown Bites

Saturday, 31 July 2010

Despite early rain, more than 20,000 people from all over Sydney turned out for a fantastic day of food and fun at this years Bankstown Bites.

Celebrity Chef, Miguel Maestre of  El Toro Loco entertained his audiences by whipping up a feast of delights on stage and giving them a taste of his famous Paella and Chocolate con Churros.

Our ever popular Discovery Food Tours dominated the day once again, with visitors taken on guided tours through a number of food businesses in and around the Bankstown CBD.

Other festival highlights included the environmentally sustainable Backyard Bites display, clowns, face painting, food carving demonstrations belly dancers, puppet shows, and Vietnamese rice paper roll making workshops.

Bankstown Council’s annual food festival, Bankstown Bites once again proved it is one of Sydney’s most authentic and diverse food festivals.

We would like to thank the sponsors Torch Newspaper, Bankstown Sports, Bankstown RSL Club, Oriental Merchants, Revesby Workers Club, Canterbury- Bankstown Express and all the community groups that performed or assisted on the day.  And a special thanks to all our fantastic volunteers.
