MAGAZINE

The past month has been an exciting time at OOH Magazine, from the National Pizza Awards at the beginning of November, to crowning the Street Food Champion more recently. It was great to take the stage and see so many familiar faces in the crowd. I really enjoy how the street food community can come together and support one another. 
I’d like to thank all the attendees, supporters and competitors who showed up and represented our wonderful industry. And well done to our winners — hopefully it’s sunk in by now! For those who missed it, turn to page 20 to read all about it. 

And while smoked meat took the centre stage at the Street Food Championships, this issue focuses on vegan and vegetarian trends just in time for Veganuary. So, if you need some convincing to incorporate more plant-based dishes, turn to page 58.

While we focus on trending topics and food, this month’s interview is with Nick Kleiner, founder of the viral sensation Sandwich Sandwich. He talks to us about how social media has lifted his brand and what’s important to his family-run business. Turn to page 16 to read the full interview.

As we head into the busy festive season, I hope this issue gives you a small break from the craziness. Whether you’re reading this on a plane, a train or at home – I hope you’ve got a good cuppa with you. 

Until next time,
