How does the Good Food Guide work? Do restaurants know reviewers are coming? Are there disguises? What do hatted chefs think of the whole shebang?

To celebrate the release of the Good Food Guide 2020, readers are invited to a Roman-influenced dinner on September 24 at The Westin Melbourne, cooked by chefs Guy Grossi of Perth's hatted Garum (and Grossi Florentino), and Michael Greenlaw of Allegro at The Westin Melbourne.

Over gruyere, gougeres and classic spritz, pecorino and silverbeet creste di gallo (cock's comb pasta), and Rome's springtime suckling lamb hero, abbacchio alla romana, diners can fire questions at both chefs and the Guide's senior team, including Good Food editor Ardyn Bernoth, deputy editor Roslyn Grundy and critic Gemima Cody.
