Bianca: When McDonalds came a knockin and offered us the chance to build our own burger at the newly opened Thornleigh Burger Bar, who were we to pass that opportunity up? I basically consider this my greatest achievement in life, sorry future children. In all seriousness, I was aware of McDonalds shift to a more interactive […]
Bianca: There is a special place in my heart for Chinese food, specifically dumplings. I find them to be a comforting food despite the fact I am a pasta loving Italian/Aussie. That’s kind of the beauty of growing up in a diverse multicultural country like Australia. So it’s no question that I’m always on the hunt […]
Alex: For some, winter is nothing but a cold and gloomy nightmare with everyone reminiscing about the summer months chilling by the beach. For others the colder months is a time in which we can rug up, turn on the fireplace and enjoy some really good, hearty comfort food. And if you’re like me and enjoy […]
Alex: Nestled discretely off one of the main roads in Double Bay, Vine offers both a contemporary fine dining menu with a heavy influence on French culture as well as a bar menu that is perfect for a casual or quick-lunch. On this rainy Saturday arvo myself, Bianc and new friend and pocket rocket Joyce were brought […]
Bianca: So I am a member of a rather fanatic burger cult/group on Facebook – the FBAS or for the un-initiated the ‘Fatties Burger Appreciation Society’. Generally when there’s wind of a new burger place the group is in a flurry, which is exactly what happened all last week when word spread about a small […]
Bianca: No trip to Melbourne is complete without a detour to wine country. One of our favourite Yarra wineries is ‘De Bortoli’ for a few reasons. One of which you probably aren’t expecting. De Bortoli Winery not only make some premium wine’s but the restaurant upstairs make some of the best bread I’ve had the […]
Vanessa: Is there any nicer way to break up the working week than spending an evening waterside, beverage in hand and good food before you? I think not! On this particular mid-week venture, team For Foods Sake was invited to dine at Criniti’s Woolloomooloo. Set on the restaurant-lined finger wharf, Criniti’s offers traditional Italian fair […]
Vanessa: For those of you that read my previous post, (Weekend in Orange, Part 1), I’m sure you got the sense that we were heading for a full blown food coma..and you would be correct! Picking up from where we left off after a very memorable meal at Lolli Redini, we had an agenda on […]
Vanessa: Situated back from the bustle of military road in Cremorne, sits the home of ‘Chinaman Dumpling’. Making its foray into this north side dining district five months ago, this fairly new eatery serves up some classic Chinese dishes. The restaurant itself has a real warmth about the design, with intricate wooden bird cages hanging from […]
Bianca: Yes, I confess. Me – the burger loving fiend only just made the trip to the Newtown hipsterville mecca ‘Marys’ in early Feb. Yes it was LOUD and incredibly busy but if you’re going there you’ve already resigned yourself to what you should be expecting so this should surprise no one. My friends and […]
Alex: It’s probably a wanky thing to do but for the past couple of months I’ve really revolved all of my dining around places with really good views! I’d like to say that with beautiful views right in front of me I’ll stop looking at my phone…but that doesn’t happen, and if it’s not my phone […]
Alex: Quite possibly the most well-known and charming little cafe in Melbourne’s CBD is none other than ‘The Hardware Societe’. A rather unassuming little eatery in term’s of Melbourne’s standards, walking along Hardware Lane if you weren’t in the know you could easily walk on past – if it wasn’t for the throngs of people littering […]
Bianca: A quick google search on Doctor Faustus had me stumbling upon the play by English playwright Christopher Marlowe, a tale of a man who sells his soul to the devil for power, pleasure and knowledge…all that fun stuff. Now I wasn’t after the aforementioned goodies but there has been discussion about what I would […]
Bianca: Searching for a place to eat before Chelsea Handler’s stand-up comedy show at the State Theatre late last year was fairly easy. What was close, had decent food, an excellent wine list and offered something a little bit different to the norm? That would have to be ‘Gowings Bar & Grill’. Situated adjacent to […]
