Joe's Bar and Dining Hall - Taste of the South Festival preview

(The Scallop Ceviche at Joe’s Bar and Dining Hall for the Taste of the South food festival)

Last week we were lucky to be invited to a special soiree – Joe’s Bar in St Kilda’s Taste of the South food festival preview.

We drank some fresh and fruity bourbon loaded cocktails, and feasted on Scallop Ceviche, Fried chicken, Ribs, Jambalaya and more. See some of the highlights from our night below.

Event Details: Joe’s Taste of the South starts12pm this Saturday March 29^th and this Sunday March 30^th. There’ll be amazing food inspired from the American Deep South like brisket, chill con carne, ribs, fried chicken, Gumbo and more, plus New Orleans cocktails, U.S beers and bourbon, and even a chili eating competition!

(A Cocktail to start the night right : the Georgian Mint Julep – if you like Bourbon it will knock your socks off!)

(Yup – the sizzling BBQ Beef and Pork ribs smoked over apple wood and red box respectively)

(A hero shot of Joes’ very fancy $8,000 smoker laden with ribs!)

(More of the delicious Scallop Ceviche – citrus cured scallops, pumpkin puree, pickled zucchini, apple wafers, cherry tomato radish cress and Guajillo salt – beautiful!)
