  • 🇦🇺 Ultimate Australian Food Tour in Melbourne!

    MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA - Welcome to Melbourne, Victoria, Australia! Today we’re going to answer the question - what is Australian Food? This is my first trip to Australia, so I’m excited to explore and to eat my way through Melbourne.
    Thank you to all my friends in the video:
    Huge thank you to Chef Nick and Tess from HER Melbourne (her.melbourne/) for hosting me in Melbourne and for taking me around.
    Chef Nick: / nick_bennett_sourdough
    Tess: / _tessstewart
    Also a huge thank you to Sofia Levin ( / sofiaklevin ) for showing us some of the best food in Melbourne!
    Here’s the full Australian food tour:
    1: South Melbourne Market - goo.gl/maps/6Vefo5Ez1gNeDP5E6
    We’re starting out at South Melbourne Market to try some of the local foods available. Starting with jam donuts, meat pies, seafood, a quick oyster shot, and finally the legendary dim sim!
    2. Industry Beans - goo.gl/maps/ZEnA2so2xScVQ4CM9
    Next up on this Australian food tour we’re having coffee - and in Melbourne they take coffee culture seriously.
    3. Terror Twilight - goo.gl/maps/CcBrVwo1qrdZGECM6
    Just like coffee culture, Australian brunch culture is very strong, and they have influenced the world with brunch, and of course - avocado toast.
    4: Big Esso (Mabu Mabu) - goo.gl/maps/5WrjENeqZS8VojrU7
    I wouldn’t want to make a video about what Australian food is without original indigenous Australian food. Big Esso is one of the few true Australian restaurants where Chef Nornie Bero from the Torres Straits serves modern Australian dishes using only local ingredients. Emu, saltbush, and green ants!
    5: The Napier Hotel: goo.gl/maps/8VguVAZWeVJFMBoM7
    Another part of Australian food culture is the Australian pub. Along with a classic Aussie meat pie, chicken parma (or kangaroo parma), don’t miss the giant Bogan Burger.
    6: Gerald's Bar - goo.gl/maps/eJGXgUfKB3fvqXxo7
    Next up on this food tour we’re going to a local neighborhood wine bar, a favorite in Melbourne.
    7: Supper Inn - goo.gl/maps/rKnZMu8uNzRCrX9y5
    Lastly, one of the biggest parts of Australia is the diversity and people from around the world who have migrated to Australia, including many Chinese. Melbourne is home to a substantial Chinatown and we’re eating at one of the absolutely classics.
    Although there’s so much more to learn, this was an introduction to learning what Australian food is!

    Just wanted to clarify. Kangaroos are NOT a feral pest, they are a native animal to Australia. They form an integral part of the ecosystem in Australia. I studied environmental science and work in conservation and land management in Australia. It is true that eating kangaroo in Australia is a more sustainable form of meat than beef.
    Actual feral animals introduced to Australia that are non native and overgraze landscapes include rabbits, goats, deer, pigs and a few others.
    I absolutely love your videos Mark and watch them religiously.
    Since I live in Australia, I did think that the choices of food places for this episode were a bit average.
    To end on a positive note, I’m happy you are in oz and creating content here!

      I was SHOCKED when she said that. They are only a "PEST" to farmers farming EUROPEAN crops - which are a huge food source that naturally the NATIVE Australian Kangaroos will try to eat. TBH this entire episode really irked me because she basically presented the "Educated Melbourne Hipster Elite Affluent" version of "Australian Cuisine". Even the bloody Dim Sims looked "Bougie"...

    Love your videos, and glad you came to Australia, as a chef and someone who worked in the kangaroo industry it was good to see you got to try kangaroo. But that lady should not be giving bullshit information. Yes the kangaroo gets overpopulated because of the conditions created by agriculture, and yes at times those numbers damage crops, but kangaroos are not feral pests they are a native animal, if she doesn’t know that perhaps she should learn that first before acknowledging indigenous people, theirs more to their culture than just saying I acknowledge them

    C. minute 5:00: Mark, a simple tip is to walk/travel with your own re-usable cutlery (even just a spoon and a fork. That way, you can cut hot, dripping things like the meat pie into neat little mouthfuls . . . without messing your hands....or your clothes....or the floor.....and without burning your mouth by taking too much at once..... Eco-friendly approach to food and travel.
