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 […]

Happy Ending, Concord
God, I love a good fairytale. I have been waiting for this day since the beginning of my passionate obsession with Mister Gee Burger Truck. And now I’ve finally got my Happy Ending in the form of the aptly named Happy Ending. The Gee-niuses behind Sydney’s favourite burger truck have finally set up a brick […]
Bar Ume, Surry Hills
Give it t-ume, baby. You have to admit I’m pretty fly for a blog guy. You know what else is pretty fly? The newly revamped Bar Ume in Surry Hills. (Disclaimer: I was invited to sample Bar Ume’s brand new menu however opinions remain my own). Chef/owner Kerby Craig already has extensive experience with burgers […]
Butter Sydney, Surry Hills
You’re not going to believe this but I spend a lot of time thinking about food. What should I eat for lunch? What should I have for dinner? What should I eat for tomorrow’s lunch? Those questions are always on my mind along with wondering how in the world I’m going to get my novel […]
Royal Stacks, Melbourne CBD
To stop myself from becoming lazy, I take note of every barb and shot ever thrown my way. I remember random things my teachers said, random things members of my extended family have said and even random things from people on the streets. Yes, yes I am in therapy, why do you ask? I even […]
Jacks Newtown, Newtown
Once upon a time, I was a fiend at Super Smash Bros on Nintendo Gamecube. Almost everyone who owned that game thought they were the best as there were very few competitive scenes and all players inflated their egos by demolishing their CPU opponents on the easiest difficulty. And then I got my wake up […]
Lord Gladstone Hotel, Chippendale
Random iFat trivia time: I don’t like swimming very much. I can swim, I’m no Michael Phelps but I’m not a flailing mass of limbs either when you throw me in a body of water. It goes back to an incident I had as a kid in which I nearly drowned because the girl who […]
The Upside Cafe, Ultimo
Once upon a time, I hated my job. I was stuck in a place where I thought careers went to die which was ironic because it was one of my first “real” jobs. In my mind, I had nowhere else to go. This is what university had prepared me for, it was all a part […]
Brewristas, Glebe
Little known fact about me: I used to be a barista. I was absolutely terrible. This was before I liked coffee so I had absolutely no idea what “good” coffee was. I must’ve ruined coffee for so many people. In fairness, the beans we used smelt like me before I discovered deodorant so it was hard […]
Five Points, North Sydney
I’m a very flawed person but I’ve already felt that one of my major strengths was that I was self aware. I very rarely take risks or try things that I don’t think I can pull off. With that being said, I can do a lot of things better than most people. Er….none of that […]
Eggslut, Los Angeles
People flock to Los Angeles for beaches, the chances to see stars, recreate action sequences from GTA V and to drive down a freeway with the top down whilst admiring the gorgeous palm trees that line the streets. Me? I went for sluts. More specifically, I went for Eggslut in Los Angeles. How was that […]
In N Out, Westchester
You always remember your first. My first kiss consisted of a truth or dare game with a girl that no one liked. My first car was a beat up, black BMW that I never actually ended up driving (I bought it before I actually got my license, I used the car as a glorified CD […]
