With New York behind us we jetted back to the west, landing in a desert town I’ve never had a huge desire to go to but just wanted to see and tick off the list. Las Vegas. The only remote fascination I’ve had with Vegas is the unique architecture that can be found up and down [...]

New York is a place you either love or hate. It’s big, it’s busy it’s fantastic. I can really understand why people say it’s the centre of the universe as when you’re there it almost feels like it is. Everything you need is on the island. Well, almost. Maybe all those bridges are there to keep it [...]

It’s pretty ironic that a fly should land on my arm whilst rolling out the pastry for this pie, quickly buzzing away when I said words a little more harsh than shoo.  I mean, really, who says shoo in this day and age other than your nanna or some stressed-out Amish woman freaking out because flies keep landing on [...]

What is it about eating copious amounts of meat that makes you want to just lay back, rub your belly and sink into a post-protein coma?

When somebody recently asked me if we’d done any day trips out of New York I said yes, just one. To be honest I really wanted to duck out to Boston but not just for the day. A couple of days would have been nice. Our day out of NYC was spent in a city [...]

My name is John and I have an addiction. Prior to setting off for the States I had a nagging concern. When addicts don’t get exactly what they’re craving, what their body needs, things get a little tense. A little messy. I’ve been told by a few non Australians that we’re spoilt for choice when [...]

So here I am back at Charlie & Co. Actually let me clarify. I had the I don’t taste chilli crab burger at Charlie & Co. down at Opera Kitchen a couple of weeks ago so coming to the one in town upstairs at Westfield is a first-time experience for me. I refused to wait 45 minutes in a queue within [...]

It never ceases to surprise me how most of us take for granted the things we have in our own backyards. You know it’s there, you’ve see it countless times and yet you’ve never quite stopped to give it a go. One such place is a mere five minutes walk from my house, a place [...]
