Queensland is taking you to lunch this week!
Well, I should explain the fine points here - we are coming up to the time of the year when Queensland is the nation's food bowl. In case you havn't noticed, it gets cold down south in winter and the plants don't grow so quickly. In Queensland we have lots of sun and plants that love the cooler winter temperatures - works a treat in the veggie patch.
So some clever people (looking at you Alison Alexander) decided to come up with the Lunch on Q concept where restaurants offer a Queensland-themed menu and a glass of local wine at a set price of $35 - bargain!
The good thing is that it's actually two weeks of lunching June 4 to 17 and here's what you can enjoy -
