Basil Pesto Pasta – Lee Glezos cooks for us at home.

admin — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 13:58:28 +0000

Recently, I moved out of the place in Windsor I was sharing with Oscar. I started looking for a new place to live and was offered a stint of house sitting, but before I start the house sitting I’m doing a bit of couch surfing and staying with friends. First stop on my tour of Melbourne’s [...]

Alimentari – Oral explosion.

admin — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 02:52:14 +0000

Oh My God… I just had the best steak sandwich I’ve ever had in my life! I was on the way to lunch and bumped into Matt Watson, who I work with; we were both on our way to the deli (Alimentari). Both of us, seasoned Alimentari-ites, have had pretty much everything on the menu. As we [...]

Jonathan’s – I just ate it and it was soooo good.

admin — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 04:25:36 +0000

I just ate something that was so good, I had to blog it straight away. Jonathan’s is a Butcher located on the city side of the middle of Smith Street in Collingwood. Jonathan’s has been on Smith Street for as long as I have been alive and is viewed by most meat eaters as the premier [...]

Hooked, on Hooked.

Great quality Fish and Chips at Hooked on Chapel Street, Windsor.

I just took the plunge – WordPress

admin — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 23:11:55 +0000

Hi there, You may notice that this site looks a little different than it used to. I’ve decided upon recomendations from my co-workers to migrate to WordPress. Please bear with me as I get used to this and sort out the look and feel. Thanks, Mark

Eating Out, In – Menulog Restaurant Delivery Guide

admin — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 12:46:00 +0000

I like to eat out, if I hadn’t made that quite obvious already. I like to go to the restaurant, I like to look at all the other people at the restaurant, I like to look at the walls, I like to look at the wait staff… I really like to be served and not [...]

Vietnamese bakeries – Best eats!

admin — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 09:29:00 +0000

So I’m not sure if it’s the same in every city, but in Melbourne in nearly every suburb, Vietnamese bakeries have popped up like a plague of places to get great cheap food. Their business model is high turn over cheap product. Generally they use bread rolls baked freshly onsite, they have a refridgerated baymarie with [...]

Noi Thai – Richmond Thai Restaurant

admin — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 13:23:00 +0000

It was sort of spur of the moment when Oscar organised dinner with Mark at Noi Thai; one of Oscar’s favourite Richmond Thai Restaurants. I had been there for dinner a couple of years back, when it was under previous management. These days the decor is much more ‘schlick’, a booking is essential and it is [...]

Mint – Crown Street, Surrey Hills…

admin — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 11:58:00 +0000

Once or twice a year, I’m lucky to be able to come up and work out of our Sydney office. Once of the biggest bonus’s is that I get to catch up with my great school friends James and Katrina Diessl. It’s a complicated story but I used to go to Plimmerton School with Katrina’s brother [...]

Organic Produce – The Cafe!

admin — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 13:31:00 +0000

I found myself in Sydney this week for work. It was my second day up here and my first morning, so I thought I’d find something to eat on Crown Street in Surry Hills near the office. I’d had a few coffees on Crown Street before having made it to the Sydney office about once a year, [...]

Frou Frou, Hawksburn – Forget it!

admin — Sun, 24 May 2009 05:03:00 +0000

This morning, Jarrod and I thought it would be nice to go up high street and have breakfast at Spoonfull, the caterers he does work for. Unfortunately when we got there they were packed, which is a good sign, so we thought we’d have a look around to see what else was available. The Tasting Spoon [...]

Movida Next Door – Definitely no second fiddle

admin — Wed, 20 May 2009 13:24:00 +0000

For years now I have been trying to get in to Movida, a tapas restaurant in Melbourne City. Every time I’ve had the opportunity or thought of it, they have been booked out. Every time I’ve wanted to take a date there, I haven’t been able to get a table. And I’m terrible with things that [...]

Alimentari – Brunswick Street Breakfast.

admin — Thu, 14 May 2009 22:40:00 +0000

I am known for my fads. There was the vegetarianism which morphed into flexitarianism; there was the vitamin and mineral binges; the detoxes; high protein and low carb; lite n easy; and the list goes on… Not only the types of food but where I eat also becomes a fad. About a month ago, I started [...]

Madame SouSou – I just ate it!

admin — Tue, 12 May 2009 12:23:00 +0000

Oh my, I’ve just gotten home from dinner at Madame SouSou and I just had to write about it. I was meant to go to Star Trek tonight with Mark, but we hadn’t booked tickets, the good seats were all gone and the Gold Class options were all at really inconvenient times, so we decided the [...]

Back to Spudbar Brunswick Street

admin — Fri, 08 May 2009 03:45:00 +0000

I’m sitting here with my belly aching! We went back to Spudbar Brunswick Street for lunch again today… hmmmmm… I chose to make my own, but it resembled the Italian, oh well. It was great. As an attractant to return, they have customer loyalty cards where you get the tenth spud for free. So far it seems [...]

Maedaya – Do it your self Japanese

admin — Thu, 07 May 2009 13:18:00 +0000

It took Melinda and I a couple of years to finally make it to each others birthday, but last year for her birthday dinner we went to Sake and Grill Maedaya. So when I heard that I would be eating with Ange and her friend Bex in Richmond, it was the first place I thought of [...]

Kush – krushed?

admin — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 12:51:00 +0000

Continuing on from my FOG night theme, when I ventured out of the house tonight with Ange, I looked us both up and down and appreciated that we had put in the effort to dress up; tonight I thought, lets go down to what has traditionally been known as the classey end of Chapel Street [...]

Ange’s favourite healthy breafast

admin — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 00:36:00 +0000

So me best friend Ange has been on Cohen’s and has been taught or exposed to a lot of information and knowledge on nutrition. The kind of thing that I think is missing from our education system. Any hows… Ange for breakfast now eats fruit or fruit salad. Exactly the kind of think I learned when [...]

Napier hotel – premier pub food

admin — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 04:44:00 +0000

Today I joined the traditional lunch time crew from work. We headed just round the corner to the Napier Hotel, one of our oft chosen locals. I tend to be wary when eating there, due to their novelty oversized meals. Sometimes I go halves and are still very satisfied. The range of meat loving and vegie loving [...]

FOG

admin — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 12:48:00 +0000

Tonight I caught up with Mark Torpy, as one last dinner out before the wife got back from her trip to London. We decided to head down Chapel Street, towards the Toorak end… I had been spending most of my time up the Windsor end so it was a noice treat. We got to Greville Street [...]
