The winners of the 2009 EVOO & Table Olive Competition were celebrated at a beautiful olive oil and olives themed dinner created by the talented TAFE students and staff who run Martinhas Restaurant in Light Square Adelaide. 

Over 90 people came together to congratulate the winners and taste the beautiful winning oil and olives.  Once again attendees were impressed with the exceptional quality of food that was prepared by the Regency TAFE hospitality students.  Each year the students do an excellent job of waiting tables and seeing to the needs of guests.
