Our Champion Restaurants 2008
Thank you to all our top 10 fundraisers, these are our champs for 2008 – well done and please bask in the glory.
The staff and customers at Il Centro Brisbane, Il Solito Posto, Melbourne and Longrain, Sydney are our top dogs for 2008. StreetSmart wouldn’t exist without our participating restaurants and the huge effort the staff put into making it work and the generosity of their customers. We applaud and bow down in honour of our top fundraising restaurants in each State, while acknowledging the efforts of all of our participants.
Our National and Queensland Restaurant Champions are Il Centro Brisbane, Victorian Champions are Michael, Jay and the crew at Il Solito Posto, Melbourne and our NSW and ACT Champions are Sam and his crew at Longrain, Sydney. GPO in Bendigo is the Regional Champion this year.
Our friends at Crumpler have once again sponsored our Champion Restaurants awarding great prizes for their efforts.
