Surprised, but happy, to see this Macao Gourmet go to SBS Food - rather than on 10, where Justin Schofield’s “Everyday Gourmet” show is on.

Not that surprising, the other specials fronted by Justine from H Squared (the production company) have also aired on SBS Food. They include Outback Gourmet in March last year and Justine’s Flavours of Fuji went to air back in 2017.

Also Tropical Gourmet (in which Justine visited New Caledonia) which finishes on SBS Food tomorrow night in the same 8.30pm timeslot.

Fair enough. Thanks for clarifying. I had a feeling that the production side aired these specials and offered them to SBS Food.

I’ve heard of Fuji Gourmet and Tropical Gourmet, but somehow didn’t realise there was an Outback Gourmet show.

Glad that SBS Food is airing new Australian content.
