Clubs across NSW are dishing up the best they have to offer, all for the chance to be crowned this year's 2023 Perfect Plate Champs.

The Perfect Plate Awards showcase the quality and variety of food at clubs across NSW, spotlighting the talented chefs that make their club's food so popular for patrons.

Perfect Plate ambassadors Matt Moran and Courtney Roulston, two of Australians most accredited chefs, have jumped on board this year. Both Matt and Courtney have taken their love for creating food to Australian tables and screens during their careers in the industry.

Local Surrounding clubs were also visited for tasting on Wednesday, 21 June, by non-other than Rugby League Legend, turned food critic this time every year, Nathan Hindmarsh.

“It's been difficult as over the years I've had to be more of a food critic than a normal foodie. Regardless, I've been with The Perfect Plate Awards and Club NSW for a few years; I particularly look forward to this time of year”.

Nathan Visited The Alcott in Lane Cove for their crumbed duck cutlet. He was then taken to The Post’s favourite spot, Magpies Waitara, where he enjoyed the fan favourite Tiger Prawn Arrabbiata and scored it a 4.7 out of 5. Hindmarsh then doubled up at the Hornsby RSL, tasting the Chilli Chocolate Beef Burger rating 4.5 out of 5 and Southeast Asian Shaky Beef 4.3 out of 5. All three venues are now in the running for the Perfect Plate Awards top spot.

Nathan Commented on how impressed he's been with the calibre of meals.  “All the meals at the clubs have been fantastic. As more of a steak kind of guy, I want to try something I've never tried before, like the duck, for example. This is all opening my eyes to new foods for the community. I've also eaten fish off a pub menu, something I never thought I would do.”

Diners will score dishes from one to five. After public voting has closed, 13 regional award winners and three statewide winners (based on membership size) will be announced.

With the competition's aim to unveil hidden talent across NSW, clubs across the state have and will continue pushing for those final votes.

“It's great to try something new. It lets the chef be a little more experimental and out there. It's also great for the club to develop and be unique.”

Voting Kicked off on the 30th of May, and final calls for votes will wrap up on the 9th of July. As awards are judged entirely by dinners, every club across NSW has a fair shot at the top prize.
