butter sydney fried chicken

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 […]

Work in Progress, CBD

I’m far from perfect. I always forget to untie my shoes when I get home from work and glare at myself in the mirror the following morning. I’m pretty much impossible to contact after 8:30pm (homies know that the boy likes to sleep early). I’m the worst disciplinarian of all time (I also double as […]

Hot Star Large Fried Chicken, CBD

I’ve always been told size doesn’t matter. That’s what I told my English teacher about my brain in year seven when she asked me to rewrite my article for the seventh time. That’s also what I told my ex-girlfriend after she made a snide remark about my lack of size. Hey man, I’m tall where […]

Fried chicken at Naruone, CBD

NaruOne Korean Restaurant, CBD

The key to Korean fried chicken is the double frying methodology they employ. This creates the crunchy skin and the tender meat encased within the light batter. I’m curious as to what the decibel level is when you crunch into one of these delectable chicken pieces. I’m pretty sure it’s not too far off from when Mariah Carey goes into her falsetto.
