Tour de Forks Meets Prime Minister of Australia!

Hello Foodies,

Tour de Forks had an amazing evening this past Saturday! The American Australian Association hosted a dinner at the Rainbow Room honoring - Kevin Rudd, MP - Prime Minister of Australia. Here he is pictured with Melissa Joachim, founder and president of Tour de Forks.

For a change the motivation for this evening - wasn't about the food (which was exceptional btw - catering by Cipriani) - it was about an amazing and exciting new world leader. Kevin Rudd's speech left the Americans in the room - wanting him to be their leader and the Australians - thrilled he was their leader. I asked if he would be our leader too - he just assured me we had good candidates coming...let's hope he's right. It's good to know things are right in world someplace and that place, is Australia. For those attending the event, it was a magical, inspirational evening.

Cheers,

the Forks

Hi Melissa, Great showing. As a fork member, you are always moving beyond my food palate. As a politian, you're on your way to rubbing some real heavy guns. Good showing!!
