Fancy Hank's and Grown & Gathered Dinner
A whole hog dinner where every piece of the animal is used.
Overview
It just wouldn't be a celebration of Melbourne food culture without a big ol' BBQ feast and this year's Melbourne Food and Wine Festival is set to play host to a very special, low-waste porcine project. For a while now, the sustainable food warriors at Grown & Gathered have been raising a pig on scraps from the Fancy Hank's kitchen and grain by-product from their local brewery.
Fast forward to April 3, and this little pig is going the whole hog, as the Fancy Hank's team prepares a feast using the entire animal, cooked over charcoal and open flame. That'll be teamed with a hearty spread of sides, salads, and preserved goodies from Grown & Gathered's own cookbook, natural wines from their farm, and even a brand new seasonal beer from a Melbourne brewery.
