An accidentally meaty edition of the mailout today folks. First up voting is now open for the Australian Hotel Association’s annual steak sanga awards — something we know plenty of you have opinions on. And for the barbecue bros and bro…ettes out there, a new player has entered the chat, all the way from Victoria. Plus Tommy’s in Highgate has a pretty tasty new Thursday spesh to tuck into tonight if your tummy is already rumbling…
Get all the deets below, along with some good news for the green thumbs out there with local councils gearing up for the Perth-wide WA Tree Festival, and…nope, actually I’m all out of alliterations for the day — see you tomorrow!

EAT & DRINK
Third Wave BBQ announces Perth opening date
After teasing the arrival of extreme BBQ bandits Third Wave to Perth many months ago, we started to think they’d never actually arrive… Then, right as our doubt began to take hold, they announced their opening date! Perhaps a great lesson in patience?
They’ll be moving into their new digs at 888 Canning Highway, Applecross – their first location outside of Victoria, FYI – from April 16, and they’ll be making a big, beefy splash with their opening offer.
For 59 bucks each, you can feast on an unlimited platter of their signature slow-smoked beef ribs – available from April 16-24, after 5pm on weekdays and after 12pm on weekends. Perhaps time to invest in a pair of stretchy pants?

“I’m not usually a sweet brekky kind of gal, but the Salted Caramel Brioche French Toast from Third Wheel in Freo was to die for!!! They make their own praline, plus it’s topped with mascarpone and berries.”
