Whilst thousands of foodies break bread over 25 simultaneous Melbourne Food & Wine Longest Lunches across the country, some less fortunate people will also get this opportunity at the Homeless World’s Longest Lunch.
Returning in its third year, the event will be held on Friday, March 4 at Melbourne’s iconic Luna Park in St Kilda. For only $50, you can buy lunch for a homeless person and give them the opportunity to share in the Festival’s landmark event. The event is the brainchild of HEAT – a not-for-profit program which Heat Beads® is proud to be supporting this year.
“The Heat Beads® brand is so proud to be involved with HEAT. After learning about HEAT’s inspiring work with displaced youth, their strong emphasis on education and their belief that everyone deserves an equal opportunity to learn – making the decision to be involved with the program (and this event) was an easy one,” Nicole Brook, Managing Director Australian Char Pty Ltd (makers of Heat Beads® BBQ Briquettes).
We will be serving BBQ Lamb Kofta* (cooked over Heat Beads® BBQ Briquettes, of course!) – one part of the delicious three course meal being overseen by Celebrity Chef and HEAT patron, Guy Grossi, and prepared with the assistance of the HEAT students.
According to HEAT Program Manager, Vanessa Murnane, “Industry experience is essential for our students when re-engaging employment and training, and HEAT’s Homeless World’s Longest Lunch is great for the confidence of our students.”

*The BBQ Lamb Kofta recipe is taken from the HEAT Cookbook, HEAT: The Way Forward Is Good Food and includes recipes and tips from award-winning chefs including Guy Grossi and Luke Mangan. 100% of profits go towards the HEAT program.
