From whispers of guilt-free sundaes to new chef-hatted restaurants, The Weekend Edition is always on the search for the latest news in Brisbane, dedicated to ensuring its readers are in the know. When we put our ears to the pavement this week, this is what we found out …

The big wins of the night were South Brisbane’s Gauge taking out Queensland’s Vittoria Coffee Restaurant of the Year, and Gerard’s Bistro’s Ben Williamson winning Citi Chef of the Year. Get the full details in our wrap up here, and make room in your diary (and stomach) to start working your way through them.

Public service announcement! It might be a good idea to wear stretchy pants on Thursday. Why? Yum Gelato is opening on Lytton Road in East Brisbane! The hole-in-the-wall gelato shop comes from pastry chef Nic Waring and is the more-refined sibling of the colourful Coolum ice-creamery of the same name. Yum Gelato East Brisbane with offer artisan Italian-style ice-cream and sorbets, as well as desserts, acai and smoothie bowls, pressed juice and superfood goodies.
