Early in the morning, as 3000 Melburnians crunch the Tan's brown gravel underfoot, Kate Stewart's team will be slapping omelettes inside burritos.

The breakfast burrito – "smashed avocado, coriander-and-chilli salsa, fresh tomatoes, baby spinach, a whole-egg omelette" – is one of five courses Miss Stewart's team will serve at Breakfast on the Tan, next Sunday for the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival.

The event is a sort of breakfast on the move, says Miss Stewart, with the five-course breakfast dotted around the Tan.

"I'm hoping that you almost don't realise you've done the Tan", she laughs. "You've done the day's exercise without really noticing."
