Yelp Adelaide To Market (Jiggety Jig) with Zedz Cafe

Yelp Adelaide's first "Elite only" event saw 20 little Yelpers go to market with all of them going mmm, ooohh, ahhh all the way home. The buzz of The Central Market on a Friday night was heightened to a record breaking 104 as Yelpers dressed in 50 Shades of Red, sipped on La Boheme cocktails and Kommon Grounds coffee, "had a moment" with Zedz Cafe nibbles and socially lubricated themselves on The Tasting Bench wines.

Paul from La Boheme had our Yelpers guessing what was in their devilishly red cocktail made from Zedz Cafe strawberry puree and secret ingredients cinnamon and rasberry liquer. Susie C was mesmerised by this "little bit of Parisien Belle Epoque in Raddy," with bar tenders that will tell you more than you ever wanted to know about your favourite spirit.

Then, "like a bunch of pub crawlers in red gear," Lee L joined Yelpers as they hopped, skipped and jumped across to Zedz Cafe for a progressive tasting of activated foods, Artisan roasted coffee and boutique wines. Amelia J and others got a "coffee-ducation with Dorcen," the one and only Artisan Coffee Roaster of Kommon Grounds coffee – learning about bean origins, flavours and roasting.

Meanwhile, Madeleine W was "having a moment" with her gluten free brownie, and Kamini N was in a "food coma" as she enjoyed Zedz Cafe tastings of "sprouted veggie lentil salad with a raw finnese, a soothing Moroccan soup and a spinach and Siberian tomato quiche." Franjo, the owner of Zedz Cafe. explained his passion for serving up healthy, activated and wholesome food and how you can do this from home. Franjo passionately described how he builds flavour in his food. "I like using combinations of flavours to conjur up images and
experiences that people can relate to when eating, rather than just
follow a recipe," he said. A big A+ for artistic food talent to this
guy.

Mike from The Tasting Bench finished off the evening telling a tale of his online wine club and his goal to showcase Australians to boutique, small production wineries once a month via his business. From Rusty Mutt to Scott Winemaking and Arete Wines, Yelpers again had their tastebuds challenged with some unique flavours and blends.

A big hvala lijepa must go to all of the passionate and creative men who made our Yelpers market experience truly intimate, filling and taste-bud challenging!
