*** Insert amazing introduction here, Isaac please update this when you get the chance as this is FIVE GUYS. I know it’s not Shake Shack, but God damn, please take this seriously because this is President Obama’s favourite burger spot so please write something witty, personable and in your signature style that doesn’t seem like […]

Soul Deli, Surry Hills
I’m listening to Giveon’s new album and it’s just a smidge obvious that this man has been hurt quite a bit from a romantic sense during his life (he is the man who penned Heartbreak Anniversary after all). There’s just something unique about the pain from a relationship that lingers more so than a bruise […]
S’More – Castlecrag
Eventually, I’ll be less Pun-isher and more Jon Bernthal. But whilst I have a little bit left in the tank, I’m going to dedicate the energy I have to spotlighting the best restaurants and culinary talent the world has to offer. And there are few bigger talents than my guy Big Sam Young and his […]
Kobo, Circular Quay
Let’s do dinner and a show. A phrase uttered often in movies and television when it comes to an ideal first date. You eat, you converse and get to know each other then you really get to know each other when the other person is watching something with you and reacting at the same time. […]
KFC Degustation
When I think KFC, I think eating 12 wicked wings at a time, a large serving of chips and a tub of pure gravy…and demolishing this smorgasbord of deep fried delicacies in a stained t-shirt and sometimes with no pants on. I do not think fine dining, waiters dressed to the nines or a floating […]
Blackbear BBQ, Wetherill Park
Let’s step into a time machine. Week before Christmas, 7 years ago. I was 23 years old and wandering around a shopping centre looking for a Christmas present for myself (think I settled on a hoodie sized schmedium so I could show off my lack of gains at the gym). As I was wandering around, […]
Beyond the Food with John from Ice Kirin Bar
Does any food item in the history of planet Earth have a higher approval rating than ice cream? Have you ever heard anyone say “”God, you know what’s overrated? F*cking ice cream.” The only discourse you ever hear about ice cream is the flavour debate, or whether ice cream is best had in a cup, […]
Beyond the Food with Chloe Sue
SIUUUUUUU. Echoes of a now iconic sound bounce around Old Trafford signalling that Cristiano Ronaldo has scored another goal adding to the thousands before it; all linked with a memory and a moment in time. SUEEEEEEEE. Echoes of a last name that signals another visually pleasing shot of food, fashion or a moment in time […]
Beyond the Food with Ha Chuen Wai
As different as every year is, there are some things that I look forward to every time January rolls around again (in chronological order): Seeing my friends during my birthday Designing a menu and seeing it come to life on Valentine’s Day Getting hyped for the release of a new Kanye West album even though […]
Imperfect Recipes – Vol. Taco
Mic test; 1,2. Does this website still work (because you bet your ass my fingers haven’t been working on a blog post for at least 11 months). Hi, it’s me: Isaac. I used to write analogies, jokes, puns and occasionally write about restaurants as well. Instead of writing those blog posts that 5 of you […]
Yoshii Omakase, Barangaroo
He’s taken the Crown Not everyone is equipped to deal with the weight of expectation. It’s what separates the great from the merely good. For the great ones, you’ve earned the right for people to expect the world from you. You’re LeBron James every time you step on the basketball court, you’re Meryl Streep every […]
Bush, Redfern
I’m back. And I went Bush walking in Redfern to celebrate. Bush in Redfern is an ode to our beautiful country Australia’s indistinct cuisine. Any country that can flex about our ability to turn Vegemite into an edible, hot meat pies, exceptional Thai food and world-class steak all at the same time is the place […]
