\"Eat<\/a>The winners of the 8th annual\u00a0Eat Out Zonnebloem Produce Awards<\/a>\u00a0were announced at the Stellenbosch Slowmarket yesterday. \u00a0The Eat Out<\/strong> media release states that the quality of produce was excellent this year, and that it was not easy to choose the overall winners.<\/p>\n

Judges were Deena Naidoo, MasterChef SA Season 1 winner, Eat Out<\/strong> Top 10 Chef Jackie Cameron of Hartford House, \u00a0Chef Vanessa Marx of Dear Me, Eat Out<\/strong> editor Abigail Donnelly, and Eat Out<\/strong> Editor-in-Chief Anelde Greeff.\"Eat<\/a><\/p>\n

We are delighted that the Oranjezicht City Farm has received recognition for its excellent work, in winning the South African Heritage Award. \u00a0Anel Potgieter’s ‘Life is a Zoo Biscuit’<\/em> won Best Local Food Blog for the second time. \u00a0Farmer Angus has been a pioneer for organic meat and egg production at Spier, and has been a previous winner too. \u00a0It is no surprise that Frankie Fenner Meat Merchants has received the ‘Outstanding Outlet’<\/em> award for the Cape area, having been the former 2013 Eat Out<\/strong> Top 10 Restaurant judge, yet it is surprising in that the outlet is in a dive location, and the service arrogant and poor – we are still waiting for the calf’s liver we ordered more than a month ago!<\/p>\n
