The inaugural 100 Mile Challenge - Local Food, Local Wine, Local People brings five NSW regions to Sydney and sets them the task of producing the ultimate showcase lunch based on the 100 mile concept - think global, eat local.

The five regional teams created special menus drawing on produce from the dozens of communities that lie within a 100 mile area.

Part of the Crave Sydney International Food Festival, this event brought the best of regional NSW produce into the heart of Sydney for a mouth-watering banquet lunch for 500 at Eveleigh Markets on Sunday 30 October 2011.

The inaugural 100 Mile Challenge winner in 2011 was the South Coast. The other regions taking part were Central Ranges, Riverina, Mid North Coast and the Southern Highlands. Each region incorporated students from the local TAFE colleges studying hospitality, cooking and viticulture.
