With it’s decadent mix of lobster tail, crispy pork belly, red coral tuile and corn salsa, you’d expect this dish to be served at a fine dining restaurant.
Yet, it’s on the menu at Bankstown Sports Club in their Greenfield Bistro.
The Land & Sea dish has been crowned the winner in the 2023 Your Local Club Perfect Plate Awards.
The dish, prepared by chef Daniel Tran, was voted by the public by the best in the large club category.
Kiama Leagues Club’s Slow Cooked Lamb Shoulder with Cauliflower Puree was voted the number one dish in the medium club category.
Towradgi Park Bowls & Recreation Club’s Red Wine Braised Beef Short Ribs came in first in the first in the small club category.
The winners were announced at an awards ceremony held at North Cammeray on Tuesday evening, with ambassadors and celebrity chefs Matt Moran and Courtney Roulston in attendance.
The two, who got their culinary start working in clubs, visited over 50 clubs and tasted their dishes over the campaign.
“I was so impressed with the quality of the Perfect Plate dishes, and as someone who started their own career in a Western Sydney club, it was fantastic to see so many passionate — and in many cases very young — chefs honing their craft in their local club and expressing themselves through their cooking,” said Moran.
Roulston added she was surprised by how many seafood and vegetarian dishes were on offer during the competition.
The awards are now in their third year and it’s estimated that diners purchased over 80 000 dishes during the six week voting period.
