Melbourne Podtours

This is a great idea from Your ABC. Hosted by Stephanie Alexander the gourmet food and history tour leads you from Federation Square to the Victoria Markets via some of Melbourne's eateries.

According to the website highlights include:

  • The story of Australian food icons, like Vegemite, the Freddo Frog, and the Dim Sim, which were all invented in Melbourne.
  • The site where the Prince Alfred caused Melbourne’s biggest food-fight involving 100,000 Melburnians.
  • Rollicking yarns about Melbourne's famous pubs and vineyards.
  • Stephanie Alexander’s advice on how to select a good cheese or cut of meat.
I find the Dim Sim claim interesting.
