Melbourne’s leading chefs will be defending their reputations out of the kitchen as a part of the Starlight Chefs’ Charity Cup on Saturday 2 June.
For the first time, the Starlight Chefs’ Charity Cup will be held as a part of the Good Food and Wine Show, hosted at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, bringing chefs and more than 30,000 foodies together.
Preparations are underway to transform the indoor exhibition space into a functioning soccer pitch for the first time – complete with two inflatable fields, Captain Starlight commentary, and fun football activities on the sideline with Melbourne Victory players.
Melbourne’s best restaurants, including Vue de Monde, Made Establishment (The Press Club, Maha), Mamasita, Fenix, Coda Bar & Restaurant, The Point, Enoteca Sileno Restaurant, D.O.C Carlton and Atlantic Group [v] have confirmed they will field teams.
“We will happily show the new teams how it’s done, while raising money for the Starlight Children’s Foundation. The rivalry between us may be friendly, but we all want to win!” said George Calombaris, from The Press Club and MasterChef judge.
Kick-off is 10am at Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, South Wharf, with the public invited to join the fun and support their favourite chefs, restaurants, and the Starlight Children’s Foundation.
Family-friendly festivities on the sidelines will include balloon-making and a celebrity photo booth where kids and parents can pose with Melbourne Victory players and chefs.
Entry is a $5 donation for adults and $2 donation to Starlight for children. The funds raised will enable Starlight to brighten the lives of seriously ill and hospitalised children, young people and their families.

Starlight programs are integral to the total care of seriously ill children - while the health professionals focus on treating the illness, Starlight is there to lift the spirits of the child – giving them the opportunity to laugh and play and be a child again. |
