Speaker 1: what is Plating up Wa.

8
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 2: Plating up Wa is a marketing campaign that's run under

9
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 2: the Buyware, Seat Best program and it started out as

10
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 2: a campaign to rally local patrons to book tables with

11
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 2: various participating venues around the state that showcase a hero

12
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 2: Wa dish that demonstrates our fantastic winter produce.

13
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 3: Where can people go to show this support? I mean,

14
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 3: you don't have to put up much of an effort

15
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 3: to want or eat some quality.

16
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 2: We have. We are certainly blessed with a great diversity

17
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 2: in our hospitality industry here in the state, and so

18
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 2: there is a whole lot of different restaurants from different areas.

19
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: Apart from the Perth area, We've got a restaurant down

20
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 2: in Esperance in the Goldfields area. We've got Midwest, we've

21
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: got southern forests. So we've got a whole lot of

22
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 2: different restaurants from around the state participating this great campaign.

23
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: We have incredible food on our doorstop our doorstep, and

24
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: also incredible wine. Is this a beverage thing as well?

25
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 2: Predominantly produced? Okay, that's the role really of the by

26
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: we Best campaign. Apart from rallying diners to come along

27
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 2: and eat these beautiful dishes, the other objective of the

28
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: campaign is to match up some of our producer members

29
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: with our hospitality members, so sort of an introductions are

30
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 2: kind of almost a dating kind of adjective where we're

31
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: sort of partnering up with some of our produces with

32
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: some of our chefs. So it's predominantly produced.

33
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: Well, that's the other thing we have. We have some

34
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: incredible chefs and innovative.

35
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 3: Too, absolutely, but it ends up being that kind of

36
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 3: situation if you're talking about being a little bit like dating,

37
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 3: it can be one of those situations where you swipe

38
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 3: left and you swipe right just so you can get

39
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 3: a bit of a feed.

40
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: What is w Way's best export in regard to food,

41
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: I look seafood.

42
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: We are just a state of seafood. And again in

43
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:34,399
Speaker 2: this campaign. There's some wonderful different varieties of the diversity

44
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: of seafood. We've got our Fremantle octopus, we've got shark

45
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 2: Bay cockle, shark Bay scollops, lobster of course, and maron too.

46
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: Down in Pemberton. I think seafood really is one of

47
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: our highlight hero produce in our state. Absolutely.

48
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 3: I love that little green logo with the State versus

49
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 3: by West to eat best. But the thirty days at

50
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: thirty venues, thirty days of it just sounds like an

51
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 3: absolute treat. And we've had some pretty tough times in hospitality,

52
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 3: in food and wine, so it would be wonderful to

53
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 3: see people support it.

54
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 2: So absolutely, and it's it's really easy for people to

55
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 2: find these their participating restaurants. There is a website, the

56
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 2: Plating up Wa website where people can go jump on

57
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,080
