Here we have another epic compilation carrying on from where I left off with the previous Manhattan Munchies post. Let’s start with another restaurant by Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich - Otto Enoteca Pizzeria. The restaurant sits in the sprawling ground floor of the art deco One Fifth Avenue building and is modelled on an old Italian [...]

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 [...]

Couscous is something many people associate with being a savoury accompaniment to a meal or maybe a simple salad filled with delicious ingredients. The couscous I’ve made here is a sweet dish that’s a great alternative to a breakfast cereal. I guess it could almost be like a Moroccan version of Bircher muesli except they would [...]

OK Surry Hills, when is it gonna stop? Does a single month pass without a new eatery opening? Isn’t your cup full already? As soon as a new place opens, even before anyone can step foot on the polished concrete in that new conversion, the urbanites swoop without fail. This town has constant cravings for [...]

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 [...]

The Wedge Espresso – Glebe

For a neighbourhood that’s a mere ten minutes from home, Glebe barely falls on the radar as being an option for eating or loitering. Don’t get me wrong as I think there are some great little places to eat at and the village atmosphere has more appeal than the centre of Newtown, but somehow it’s just never thought of. [...]

South Melbourne rambling

Waking up in my hotel room knowing I didn’t have to shove breakfast down my throat and rush off to the Exhibition Centre to start work was refreshing, to say the least. Sunday mornings are all about relaxation and taking it easy, I reckon. The sun was out, Collins Street was devoid of the usual traffic and I [...]

Lady Marmalade Café – Stones Corner, Brisbane

Almost two decades ago when I lived in Brisbane I never really made it to Stones Corner, a gritty enclave in the inner south-east about 10 minutes from town. It was once a mecca for outlet and clearance fashion stores and while many of them still remain to satisfy those bargain shoppers, the food scene is [...]
