Longest Dinner Table success
SANDTON – Australian MasterChef trio joined the Longest Dinner Table in Sandton City.
The Longest Dinner Table took place at Sandton City and MasterChef Australia judges put the spotlight on the Stop Hunger Now SA initiative by helping volunteers pack food for charity.
The three judges, Gary Mehigan, George Calombaris and Matt Preston were joined by MasterChef Australia 2014 winner, Brent Owens and Miss South Africa, Ntando Kunene, who all offered their support.
The volunteers packed food parcels for the Stop Hunger initiative, aiming to reach 50 000 parcels for children in need. The meals packed were completely nutritionally balanced with 21 vitamins and minerals formulated to combat malnutrition. The meals are safe to store for 12 months and only require 30 to 40 minutes cooking time.
The packing began at 11am with several packing stations lining a single floor in Sandton City, while judges joined in the last packing shift for the day. Hundreds of volunteers and fans excitedly waited for the judges and Miss South Africa to get their photos taken with them, and to try and receive some autographs.
