📣We’re having a Sausage Sizzle! 🤔What is Sausage Sizzle?
It’s an Aussie tradition; a casual cookout held in public places to raise money for charities, schools, children’s sports and so on. It’s barebones usually - a grilled sausage, lovingly called a “snag," white bread and tomato sauce (actually ketchup).
When Jane Lopes and Jonathan Ross founded Legend 6yrs ago, they set out to not only import Australian wine but a bit of Australian culture too.
Tuesday 7/28 @ 5pm
Sausage Sizzle and Wine Party @ Decant with PLAYTE Kitchen cooking and Jon pouring that good Aussie juice.

Stop by PLAYTE Kitchen tomorrow for a *FREE* interactive cooking experience celebrating the flavors of a Mediterranean summer in partnership with Copper!
Watch our chefs demonstrate the speed, precision, and performance of induction cooking as they prepare Chicken Souvlaki Skewers, Babaganoush, warm Pita Bread, and classic Mediterranean garnishes.
Along the way, you'll learn about the benefits of cooking with induction, have the chance to ask questions about making the switch from gas, and even step up to the stove for a hands-on opportunity to experience induction cooking for yourself. Whether you're induction-curious or simply love great food, this is a fun and delicious way to explore the future of home cooking.
This is a free event, but RSVP is required.
Come cook with us! 🧑🍳👩🍳👨🍳
