club food revolution

No, it's not in Cairns, at least not as far as I know. This week the Courier-Mail reported on changes in food offerings in Brisbane's clubs.

"SEARED scallops with dill and vanilla bean beurre blanc, in-house hickory and tea-smoked duck, eye fillet served with a blue cheese potato puree. It may sound like an upmarket city restaurant but these dishes are part of a degustation menu being served up at the Geebung RSL".

Interesting food at reasonable prices. Not sure i'm aware of anywhere in Cairns that stands out in a similar way in either this category or 'pub food'? It's all progress down south with Jamie Oliver's Ministry of Food also opening it's first Australian centre recently at Ipswich.
