Bianca: I seem to have well and truly burst my Inner West bubble, with my second visit to the Eastern Suburbs in a matter of weeks. What’s going on? Doing a bit of ‘Kitchen Tea’ research, I was joined by Madre, Sonia (The bride to be – BTB) and Sonia’s Mum (we shall call her […]
Bianca: I ADORE Indian food! I love it but rarely eat it. Mainly due to my delicate baby stomach but when we received an invitation to dine at Masala it was a no brainer. I’d read many reviews and new I was in for a bit of a treat. If you’re expecting your run of […]
Bianca: San Francisco was the first stop on our Squad-Nusa honeymoon. I’d been before, the other half had not. So it was to be a mixture of playing tour guide and new explorations! I’m a huge advocate for American contemporary cuisine. Forget everything you think you know about American food. Cheap, huge portions, loaded with cheese […]
Bianca: While most typically think it’s the males at the head of Italian families, my general experiences have been that the women rule the roost. Something I’ll happily continue to advocate for. One particularly strong lady in the eyes of team FFS is our Nonna Assunta. Whilst age and illness has slowed her down, she can […]
Bianca: An entire café dedicated, essentially to pancakes? Yes, please!!! But, there’s a catch, these pancakes are dairy and gluten free. Healthy Pancakes? Who knew… Hale & Hearty have a niche and that niche is a healthy one. Perhaps I’m not the target market but when there are pancakes to eat, duty calls. I made […]
Bianca: Now I know I’ve never seen a smoking panda in my life, actually scratch that, I’ve never seen a panda in real life. So I was thoroughly entertained before I even stepped foot into ‘The Smoking Panda’. Imagery aside, I was intrigued by the fusion of retro LA style, that quintessential down and dirty […]
Bianca: My love for the burger brought me to the relatively new café ‘Basket Brothers’, which sits on the fringe of the city CBD and neighbouring Surry Hills. Despite the café/restaurant ‘prowess’ of the inner city suburb you’d be surprisingly hard pressed to find a knockout burger. ‘Chur Burger’ undeservedly had the monopoly on the […]
Vanessa: As many of our readers know, our Italian heritage and penchant for home cooked… Vanessa: Growing up in the north shore suburb of Forestville, my childhood memories of eating… Bianca: A casual sister restaurant to Alessandro Pavoni’s chef hatted ‘Ormeggio’ and with stunning views… Vanessa: Admittedly, I have always associated the Quarantine Station with […]

[invite] Bianca: We’re always on the hunt for good pizza in Sydney. Going on two years of trade is Nude Pizza in Matraville. Neighbours with one of my favourite burger joints in Sydney, Big Bunz. Owner Nunzio was eager for us to try some of their classic Italian pizzas. The bases here are more of […]
Alex: Slowly but surely, Melbourne has become our second home. At least a month out of every year is spent in one of my favourite cities in the world and I’m certain I can say that I know the city better than half my friends that actually live there! Whenever we come down we like to […]
Vanessa: The Tramsheds are still fairly unchartered territory for me as I don’t feel I have experienced their full potential. A recent visit to Bekya Middle Eastern Kitchen has only further cemented my drive to add this to my dining rotation. Bekya is a family-run business that provides diners with an extensive menu of Middle Eastern […]
Bianca & Vanessa Braving the Antarctic conditions one Saturday morning, Alex and I made our way over to our old stomping grounds in Leichhardt to WellCo café. Whilst Norton St has been on a steady decline the last 10 years or so, there’s still a great deal of nostalgia attached to the suburb as our grandparents […]
