If it seems like only last week we we’re raising a glass to the Best Restaurant’s across South Australia, it’s because we were. But by no means are we done celebrating the food and drink of Adelaide yet. The classic public house, the hotel of the weary traveler, the warm and welcoming inn; these much adored beacons of hospitality deserve their own recognition and at the AHA SA Awards at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre last night, the Awards of Excellence celebrated the best ‘locals’ from all around the state.
