Description

A new wave of Greek food is sweeping Australia. One business that’s never been shy of innovation is Vanilla Lounge in Melbourne’s Greek hub of Oakleigh. As the Spanos family open another outlet - this time focused on desserts - we catch up with Dennis Spanos about the family business, his father’s legacy, leading with empathy and the changing face of Greek cuisine. Anyone want chips on frozen Greek yoghurt?
