Vanessa: Since moving from the Inner West to the South West a couple of years ago, I have enjoyed seeing an upturn in the cafe culture in the burbs. Another newcomer has recently come on the scene with Chef & Crew opening a few months ago in Moorebank. This family-run operation, headed up by the […]
Welcome to For Food’s Sake! A food, lifestyle and travel blog created by three food obsessed Italian-Australians.. Vanessa, Bianca and Alex. Growing up in a traditional Italian household, Sunday evenings were reserved for non-negotiable family dinners with our grandparents (the nonni). Fifteen or so people crammed around a ridiculously small table, elbow to elbow, family […]

Bianca: Despite all the burgers we had slotted in for our Melbourne trip we had also planned to dine at a few fine dining restaurants and the one that is at the top of most people’s list when in Melbourne, is Vue De Monde. Joined by mumma FFS our last few days in Melbourne, we […]
[invite] Bianca: So what do you get when you blend Mexican and Korean cuisines? Vecino! I’ll forever have a soft spot for Mexican food but Korean is somewhat unchartered waters. I know Kimchee, bibimbap and bulgogi but fold those bold flavours in a taco or a quesadilla and I’m SOLD! Vecino has been open for […]

Our weekend away in Mudgee last year, centred mostly around Blue Wren and rightly so, we hadn’t been so blown away by a restaurant in a while. When you’re dining out upwards of 3-5 times a week and you experience something so jarringly creative and inventive, you take notice. And that’s exactly what happened over two nights […]

Bianca: Neil, Neil, Neil… he had eluded me since he opened ‘The Burger Project’ late last year but I finally managed to swing a few visits the last few months, to try his ‘ode to the milk bar style burgers’. I had seen the back and forth chatter between bloggers and the like over the […]

[invite] Bianca: Just a stone’s throw away from the Annandale hotel and Parrramatta rd, is Nelsons Nest. A cute, family run cafe serving good coffee and a menu with a slight Lebanese twist. Off the bat, service was fantastic. Yes, it was an invitation but it made no difference, staff were jovial with everybody and […]
Bianca: I’m a little late to the Belly Bao party. I made my first visit back in early 2016 when they were still chugging away in the belly of the Good God Small Club. Their Thursday Baogers were the talk of Sydney. And I decided to visit after having a full meal (burgers no less, prior). […]
