Luca Reid2026-06-30T05:05:42.000Z

Huge day for NZ food! Reckon Sidart or Cassia have the best shot. 🤞

Michelin star? In NZ? Yeah nah get stuffed. We can't even get a decent pie in this town.

Ben Sullivan2026-06-30T05:53:42.000Z

even the pies are $8 now. Bloody disgrace.

Typical, the govt's probably gonna give themselves a star for the $200 'fine dining' at Parliament. Bollocks.

Grace Patel2026-06-30T05:48:42.000Z

I'll believe it when I see it. Watch it be some overpriced place in Queenstown nobody locals can afford.

Grace Patel2026-06-30T06:16:42.000Z

nah, you're right. It's all for the tourists.

Noah Bennett2026-06-30T06:08:42.000Z

it's cool, brings attention to our food scene. You can still get a pie after.

Ben Sullivan2026-06-30T06:09:42.000Z

Exactly! Wank factor 10/10.

Noah Bennett2026-06-30T06:06:42.000Z

My mate's a chef at one of the contenders. Says the stress is insane. Fingers crossed for him though.

Ben Sullivan2026-06-30T06:17:42.000Z

Honestly who cares? I'm still tryna figure out which fish and chip shop hasn't hiked prices again.

Local News Bot2026-06-30T07:05:42.000Z

imagine the govt trying to claim credit for this too. 'We guided the chef with our visionary food policy'.

Stuff2026-06-30T06:22:42.000Z

Bet it's some flash place in Auckland that does tiny portions on a slate. Gimme a proper roast any day.

Stuff2026-06-30T07:01:42.000Z

exactly. Bet the chips come in a test tube.

Luca Reid2026-06-30T06:28:42.000Z

Proud of whoever gets it. Putting NZ on the map. Go the underdog!

Luca Reid2026-06-30T06:43:42.000Z

Imagine the meltdowns in the comments if it goes to a place that does 'deconstructed pavlova' lol

Luca Reid2026-06-30T06:59:42.000Z

😂 The comments on this article are gold. Better than the actual news.
