A samosa in a Greek restaurant? April fools!
You’ve been hoaxed by The Press Club! On Saturday night for Melbourne Food & Wine Festival The Press Club was transformed. A touch of Bollywood, saris and Indian inspired cuisine merged with George Calombaris' acclaimed Greek fare. From mango lassi or curry infused whiskey cocktails to samosas and paneer disguised as haloumi, it was a feast for the senses.

Knives engraved with old Greek proverbs rolled out with our mains. My darling roommate translated over text: I have it engrained in my history to offer knives, to people whom I not only respect but distinguish from the rest. In other words... I trust what you will do with this knife - it's only given to the chosen ones.
