Nominations open for Iconic Eats Auckland 2021
Stuck at home in lockdown and dreaming of the day when you can enjoy a meal out again?
Well Aucklanders are being asked to share their food stories and nominate the region’s best dishes.
The Iconic Eats Auckland list launched last year with nominations ranging from dishes found at fine dining establishments to cafes, food trucks, markets and hole-in-the-wall offerings.
Winners ranged from traditional dishes to those representing the ethnic diversity of the region.
Auckland Unlimited spokesperson Annie Dundas said Iconic Eats is the “ultimate culinary bucket list” of dishes that can only be enjoyed in Auckland.
“What makes this list unique is the amazing stories submitted with each dish that showcases the diversity of Auckland’s food scene – the talented people, the places, the cultures, the experiences, the flavours,” she said.
One person who submits a story will be declared the winner of Iconic Auckland Eats 2021 and enjoy vouchers for all 100 winning eats.
Nominations are now open and stories can be submitted at www.iconiceats.co.nz... up to 31 August 2021.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
