| Since I’m off to Melbourne in February, 2011, I keeping track of what’s happening in Australia. The food scene is exploding. I wanted to share this list. Having produced and hosted a TV show that earned highest video on demand, I can appreciate the pride these deserving writers are experiencing. Congratulations to all of you and I hope to meet some of you.
