The Iron Apprentice is run each year by Holmesglen TAFE at their restaurant Cilantro. Fourth year apprentices battle it out for… honor.  Meh, what about striving for a battle against their Executive Chef? Another cooking show… but which host could possibly match Master bell pepper biter Chairman Kaga?

All over the press, Single Origin took number one in a Time Out Sydney top 10 cafes and have just snared the SMH Good Food Guide Favorite Cafe.

Kind of weird Single Origin didn’t get a mention in local industry awards… Did they ignore it? How was this decided, industry people patting themselves on the back..?

Under catering they gave the Australian Jockey Club Caterer of the Year.
