The Greatest of the Mall

with Melbourne Food & Wine

The Greatest of the Mall is back for its second year at Bayside in partnership with Melbourne Food & Wine and is a snacc-fuelled tribute to Melbourne’s legendary mall food scene, cooked up by Raph Rashid – the mind behind Beatbox Kitchen, Taco Truck and All Day Donuts.

This year, we’re celebrating the iconic and timeless doughnut. Soft, pillowy and the perfect sweet canvas.

Raph Rashid (aka The Snacc Boss), has been making his way through Bayside with his friend Dani Venn to research, eat, explore, taste and be inspired. All in the name of creating an out-of-this-world doughnut made just for Bayside. Enter the Pink Lamington Doughnut.

Visit  Bayside for your chance to indulge in the custom and one-time-only Pink Lamington Donut for FREE, meet Raph and Dani Venn, and win instant prizes!

When: Friday 3 & Saturday 4 July

Time: 11am-2pm

Location: Ground Floor, opposite Share Tea
