TASMANIA'S dominance of the national food and wine scene has been confirmed with two local restaurant owners making the finals of the Electrolux Young Australian Restaurateur of the Year Awards.
Chloe Proud of Ethos Eat Drink in Hobart and Bianca Welsh of Stillwater and Black Cow Bistro in Launceston are two of five finalists selected from across the country.
The pair, both aged 26, will today finish a five-day tour of one of Australia's leading food and wine regions in South Australia where they have met and learnt from some of the nation's world renowned dairy, seafood, meat, horticulture and viticulture producers.
"There are some of the biggest names responsible for what is some of the best food in the country alongside 25-year-old sommeliers running multi-million dollar companies," Ms Proud said.
"It's pretty exciting to think I get to be part of that.
"We focus a lot on going around and meeting our producers at Ethos, but on a smaller scale than this. I think it's really important at both ends of the scale for people to know exactly what it takes to get food into your supermarket and on to your plate."
Co-owner of Hobart restaurant Garagistes, Katrina Birchmeier, took out the top prize in last year's awards.
Stillwater and Black Cow Bistro co-owner Mrs Welsh said the women's success was reflective of a new wave of passionate up-and-coming Tasmanian restaurateurs.
"It's nice to be given an opportunity to compete on a national level," she said.
"I think having two Tasmanian finalists is reflective of the great next generation of restaurateur coming through here."
The winner will be announced next month.
