November 3rd 2004 – New York Pizza Show
Our generous sponsors have donated a paid trip to the New York Pizza Show for the best pizza makers in Australia and New Zealand to compete for the America’s Plate. This will be the birth of an annual event that showcases the world’s best pizza makers.
Visualise this: The Aussie and the Kiwi teams take to the pizza stage in New York and they do their famous sports cries: Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi! And the Kiwi’s Haka. The Haka, a quintessential Kiwi contribution to world sports, features rolling eyeballs and fierce passion. Hardly designed to stir fond feelings in the opposition, the cry is a consistent reminder of the power and vitality of Maori culture in New Zealand life. If that doesn’t put the other teams off, nothing will.
With a number of state finals for the Caboolture “Best of the Best” wrapped up, the September final in Melbourne is shaping up to be quite exciting. The winner of the final will be winging his or her way to New York to compete among the world’s best pizza chefs for the America’s Plate. With ANZAC spirit, we need to get behind our finest pizza makers. If you want to show your support, you can send greetings for your favourite team to smillar@pmq.com.au.
Let’s claim the America’s Plate for Australasia. We’ll compete against the U.S.A. and Italy for the ultimate pizza award. I urge the pizza industry to mark it on your calendar. Better still, get into training for next year. Take your pizza to the next level. You could be on your way to New York next year. Give it a go!
We would love to catch up with our readers in Melbourne, 6-9, September 2004 at the Fine Food Show. Our booth is not far from the Dairy Farmers display. We will be in arms reach of some very fine pizza at the show. So, come visit us at booth #HL 41.
