VIC’S PICKS: MACEDON VOTES FOR ITS FAVOURITE

We all know Victoria has the best food – and now it’s time to settle the score.

It’s why the Allan Labor Government is launching Vic’s Picks, a new celebration of the food, culture and community spirit that make us proud to be Victorian.

But we don't have to go very far to find the best, they are here in the Macedon Ranges and Hepburn Shires!

From Monday 22 September, Victorians will have four weeks to cast their votes for their favourite pie, bánh mì and potato cake – with the top entry in each category to be crowned Victoria’s Pick.

Food has always been part of Victoria’s story – from country bakeries serving up generations of family recipes, the suburban fish and chip shops feeding locals after

Friday night sport, and the family-run Vietnamese bakeries behind the iconic bánh mì.

Now, Victorians will get the chance to decide once and for all which of these favourites takes the crown.

The Vic’s Picks Awards will shine a spotlight on the local businesses that bring Macedon together, create local jobs and make our community proud. Every vote cast is a chance to back the local legends who turn everyday bites into state pride.

Voting closes on Sunday 19 October. To get involved, visit https://bit.ly/vics-picks-vote
