Great day as 6 teams battled it out for the title of National Potjie Champions. Extreme Potjie was there to sample and hob nob with media a potjie people. Instead of doing a journo style report, we gave each of the teams the opportunity to share their best potjie tip with our readers. So here we go, gentle readers, tips from the Masters!
Congrats to The Potjie Clubbers, by the way - who won the "national" event. Springbok and Drunken Fruit, inspired by MasterChef Australia Season 2. Genius.
