Hi I am George Calombaris and here we are at the Margaret River Gourmet Escape.
It's a beautiful day, people are smiling and we're all having a great time.
Margaret River Gourmet Escape is the real foodies dream so to speak. It's not just about one event it's one of the most beautiful locations in the world, with some of the best produce in the world with some of the best chefs in the world.
The atmosphere and the spirit is just, it's fantastic. I am really going to have a hard time going back home trying to explain to my guys I've been working, see life doesn't really get better than this.
If I go to Japan it's not to eat a hot dog, if I go to France it's not to eat sushi, if I'm in Margaret River, I want to taste Margaret River taste the local flavours from Western Australia.
Well I think as far as the produce is concerned everything is so pristine, you just drive through the country side and you just think this has to be the best produce anywhere, becuase it's so beautiful.
The thing that is particularly brilliant about this food festival is that this isn't in a conference centre, it's not in the middle of the city, this is this incredible landscape where you can go to the beach, you'll be in vinyards you can be in the woods, the fact that you can do all of this stuff and eat great food and meet all these amazing chefs many of whom I have written about but never met, and that's a hug pleasure.
My question is we might just send these flavours for the whole entire world, or invite the whole entire world to come to Margaret River. My choice is clear, come to Margaret River, to Australia, to Western Australia to Gourmet Escape.
Australia and especially this event has so much to offer, just prepare yourself cause you're going to walk away going what just happened.
