Summer Hill Grand Food Bazaar – Crave Sydney

What do Latin performers, Portuguese butchers and New Zealand wines have to do with a middle-eastern bazaar? We ponder that question when we attend Crave Sydney Food Festival‘s Summer Hill Grand Food Bazaar on Sunday October 17.

According to the Crave Sydney website, this is an opportunity to “taste the exotic flavours of a Middle Eastern bazaar presented by Egyptian, Lebanese and Turkish restaurateurs.” Instead of enjoying “kasheri, kibbeh and kebabs along with arak and other beverages to the sounds of Middle Eastern music,” we are treated to an international range of food where local shops have set up tables and stalls in front of their businesses.

Much like the Australian Cheese Showcase event at the Rocks Market which only featured a handful of stalls, this event is far removed from the middle-eastern  food bazaar and ambience it promised. There was the odd kebab or two, shisha coals on sale, pizza, pasta and BBQ seafood but most of all, the opportunity to head out to Sydney’s inner west and enjoy a perfect spring day.
