“Low plastic stool, cheap but delicious noodles, cold Hanoi beer.” This is how I’ll remember Tony. He taught us about food — but more importantly, about its ability to bring us together. To make us a little less afraid of the unknown. We’ll miss him.

Michael Cooke of Camphors at Vergelegen set out to prove that award-winning food can result from sustainable practices, and boy did he prove it! Watch as we visit the 2017 Eat Out Woolworths Sustainability Award at @VergelegenWines: bit.ly/2tCtxp6
