I have talked to everyone about Airtasker. I’m pretty sure that Airtasker didn’t expect me to, but by nature of the question “um, why are you eating 10 burgers in 10 days?”, the answer requires me to explain the whole idea of Airtasker and why anyone in their right mind would want to pay me … Read More →
Day 3 of my Airtasker burger run! I knew I was going to have a meh burger at some point, I was just quietly hoping it wasn’t going to be for the next say, five years. But alas, it came rather sooner than that. My cheeseburger at Burgerlicious makes this review easy because all I need … Read More →
Half way through my Airtasker burger run! Yes, I am still alive. No, I have not weighed myself. And I will not, for fear of condemning myself to a life of salads with no dressing for all of eternity. So I’d rather live in ignorant bliss and enjoy the fat that is currently coursing through … Read More →
Third last burger of my Airtasker burger run took me to BenBry Burgers in Manly last night. I was particularly looking forward to this because I hadn’t been to BenBry before and it’s been on my hit list for an eternity. Or about nine months, if you’re really counting. I’d read countless great reviews about this hole-in-the-wall burger joint … Read More →
There are a number of misconceptions about me. For example, the misconception that I like to shop. I don’t. Or the misconception that I’m an extrovert (because, you know, I like to talk). I’m not. But the most common misconception of all is the very wrong expectation that I am a food snob. I am … Read More →
In case y’all don’t follow me on twitter, facebook, instagram or um, you’ve been under a rock, you would have known that I was in Townsville last weekend helping my baby niece celebrate her very first birthday Well today is her actual birthday, Friday the lucky thirteenth! She celebrated in style with a strawberry cupcake … Read More →
Did everyone have a good weekend? Over here, I had one fabulousssss weekend for a squillion reasons, not in the least because it was the first time I got to sleep in in over a month (and yes, you bet I made good use of that) but because a tiny event happened out of the … Read More →
Dragon roll When we had dinner out in Townsville over the Easter weekend, I instgrammed a photo of the sake-tini that Panu had and when someone asked where it was from, I said “a Japanese restaurant in a little town.” My sis-in-law jumped all over that in a second claiming that Townsville is in fact … Read More →
Ok, people. How cold was it in Sydney today? I mean, I get that winter’s on the verge of falling through our doorstep but really? It’s April! I hadn’t planned on unpacking my michelin man coat for another month! Or am I just being a whinger? I suppose I did just spend the weekend in … Read More →
breakfast wrap at Hoochie Mamma I know, I know, I’m so slack at blogging but hey, I’m on instagram! Hope everyone has an awesome weekend. I’m loving this cold, sunny weather! peace out. Loving my new (not new any more) Mimco scarf burger at The Burger Joint, Darlinghurst the goodness of a simple egg tart … Read More →
I know this is a food blog and not a baby blog but seriously, have you ever seen anyone eat with so much passion? I, for one, have not. Anyway, I’m flying home to Sydney tonight and bright and early Friday morning, we’re off to Townsville to see my brother, sis-in-law and most importantly, to … Read More →
I have a confession to make. This “searching for Sydney’s best burger” thing? It’s a total sham. I mean, I am looking for Sydney’s most delicious burger but if I find it? Am I going to tell you? Well, NO, because then my search would be over, wouldn’t it? And where is the fun in … Read More →
Next hit up on Project Burger: The Burger Joint in Darlinghurst. Don’t be fooled. This place might look like a shabby little hole in the wall, but what comes out of them is actually pretty awesome. With a menu scrawled on the wall, they offer combos to suit all tastes; burger? cheese burger? cheeseburger with … Read More →
I am (unashamedly) a creature of habit. When I find something I like doing, I do it with huge love and commitment and I would do it all day every day, until well, one day when I don’t like doing it any more. And when I like eating something, I eat it as often as … Read More →
On Saturday night, I instagrammed and tweeted a photo of a pavlova I had made for a dinner party. As you can tell, it was a rush job because I didn’t even have time to lay a sheet as a backdrop, I used my carpet for gods sake. In any case, the response was phenomenal with … Read More →
I know I’ve been a little bit slack with posting lately. My consistent three-posts-per-week has gradually dropped to two, and if I didn’t come up with this impromptu post today, it would have been one this week. Not that I feel pressured to post. Blogging is actually down time for me, and something I “do” … Read More →
rogan josh I’M ALIVE! Yes, yes I am. My last blog post was exactly one week ago, and believe it or not, this time I can’t point an accusing finger at my Instagram addiction. I’ve actually been way over here in Johanneburg, South Africa, hidden in the depths of corporate conferencing, barely surviving six days straight … Read More →
dragon roll I had originally started this post by talking about Roxette and how much I absolutely worship their awesome Swedishness, and I even included a link to their website. And then I realised what a douche I was being. A link to Roxette? Puh-lease. How dare I insult their total famous-ness, like you guys … Read More →
If I was searching for the tallest burger in Sydney, this monstrosity from The Local Taphouse in Darlinghurst would have won hands down. I mean, just look at it. Look. At. It. The beef patty on its own is already like, I don’t know for sure but I’m going to say it’s 200-250 grams worth … Read More →
There has been a lot of talk about the Rockpool Bar’s wagyu burger. Ever since Panu and I started our search for Sydney’s best burger, we’ve had numerous recommendations for many a burger joint, but none as much as this burger. We’d actually tried to order this burger last November when dining in the restaurant area, but … Read More →
We have been to a – ‘scuse my French – butt load of BBQs lately. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining. I mean we moved all the way back to Australia just for BBQs right? Well, that plus the sunshine plus the beach. But since the weather hasn’t always been playing ball this season, … Read More →
A couple of weeks ago, I had a hankering for lychee sorbet. An absolute hankering. And so at about 11pm on a Saturday night, after I’d already showered and put on home clothes (you know the ones; old, soft, comfortable, holey) I got dressed and walked into Newtown with a bee-line for Gelatomassi. But when … Read More →
I’ve actually been meaning to post about Petaling St Hawker for a long time. Well, “long” is relative considering they’ve only been open about five weeks. But I’m so excited about this place that I wanted to share it will y’all – just as soon as I had a bigger collection of dishes to talk about. But … Read More →
Have you ever seen a square patty? Is it to maximise logistics efficiency, like how they make square watermelons? Well, I for one hadn’t ever seen a square patty, not until I had a burger at Jazz City Diner last Friday night. And honestly, I don’t care if they make their patties in an eight petalled flower … Read More →
