“We ve got the most popular show food at the show and it s called Chips on a Stick,” food vendor Deep Shah is telling SBS.
Mr Shah is among hundreds of exhibitors returning to the Sydney Royal Easter Show this year after it was cancelled in 2020 due to coronavirus restrictions at a cost of $10 million. It was only the third cancellation in the show s almost 200-year history.
For many rural producers, farmers and breeders, the show is the most important event in the calendar, and unique food offerings like Mr Shah s are a big attraction for many of the 60,000 ticket holders allowed in each day under COVIDsafe guidelines.
