Mish Delish has gone to Boot Camp..

I'm not doing crunches or push ups but working in a restaurant for a short stint. It's considered a bootcamp, as in just 2 short weeks I'll be interval training between being a sommelier, a chef, a waiter and bar person. Phew. Sounds like hard work? Well let me tell you, it is!

I was lucky enough to be chosen to participate in this fantastic opportunity alongside fellow food bloggers Penny from Jeroxie  and Thanh from I Eat Therefore I Am.

You can see us all in action at Steer Bar and Grill. Steer is located beneath the boutique Olsen hotel, at 641 Chapel Street, South Yarra.

Steer’s menu to date has had a strong Brazilian influence, but this is currently changing to a broader Latin American focus under the direction of chef Paul Wilson and chef Shaun Neilson. I'll also be training under the watchful eye of Wine Director Raul Moreno Yague (ex Head Sommelier of Vue de Monde). This is shaping up to be an experience of a life time.


As first cab off the rank I am already deeply ensconced and learning heaps. This week I am undergoing extensive mixology, bar and sommelier training.

You can follow our shenanigans on twitter & view all of our pics on flickr.
