Right from the time we got a nice reader’s tip that something good was happening at Williamstown Beach, Consider The Sauce has been following the doings there with high interest.
Not just because stuffing the lifesaving club’s kiosk with really good Italian street food is such a fine idea but also because the lovely crew from Pizza d’Asporto is up to their necks in making it happen.
As well, such a brilliant idea is it that selling it as a “Just Opened” feature for The Age was a breeze with that rag’s food editor Roslyn Grundy.
Today’s the day for the photo shoot.
I don’t expect to be playing a particularly active role – but it is my story and besides, you know, it’s fun.
Claudio, Antoinetta, Ros, myself and everyone else involved has been most fervently hoping for fine, sunny weather.
That we don’t get.
But Melbourne being mercurial Melbourne, we’re all pretty happy with the overcast but warm, windless conditions.
Oh yes, it could be way worse.
Figuring the photographer was booked for 1.30pm, I’m a bit shocked to bowl up at 1pm to find the shoot already underway.
I am also aghast that the kiosk is chockers with all sorts of beautiful food and that all hands are on deck – when the official opening is still a week away.
But while it’s likely only two pics will be used to accompany my yarn, truth is this is also a handy trial run for the entire Kiosk by d’Asporto operation.
I have a nice old time chatting to all and sundry as photographer Wayne, his wife, Nicole, and Antoinetta get the business done with professional aplomb.
Then we eat!

Did they just do a soft launch? Or what did they do with all the food afterwards? (Take it back to the main shop maybe…)

Yes, I guess soft launch for the shoot is the right word. Now fully open, though!
