She’ll never admit this, but I was my big sister’s best friend once upon a time. We had our ups and downs like all best friends do; she’d lock me in the bathroom with no toilet paper but she’d also make sure I had lunch to take to school. I’d steal her batteries to power […]

Left of Field, Rhodes
After getting rejected left, right and centre; I decided to take a break from girls for a while. I think the tipping point was when a girl told me nothing was ever going to happen even though I had never asked her out. I thought that was a bit harsh and went home to cry […]
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 […]
Café Cre Asion, CBD
At a certain point, my struggle stopped and my writing changed. I’m very much the Jay-Z of the food blogging community. I came into the game rapping about my struggles and what I had to do to get by. But eventually, I got with Beyonce, my career started taking off and I just couldn’t go […]
ACME, Rushcutters Bay
Once upon a time, I sucked with girls (let’s pretend I don’t currently suck with girls right now for this story’s sake). I had no idea what I was doing and there were many factors outside of my control that weren’t helping either. Factors like walking around with less confidence in myself than a baby […]
Scroll Ice Cream, Melbourne
I am fascniated by Tinder, I become an investigative reporter every time I’m having out with a homie who I know is on this one-stop site to meat people. How do you determine whether to swipe left or right? Do you just look at pictures? Do you think the future father of your child is sitting […]
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 […]
Jarern Chai Boon Cafe, Haymarket
Grocery shopping when hungry is one of the most rookie adult mistakes one can make. Naturally, it’s one I make almost every single time. I go into Woolworths with the intention of just buying broccoli, tuna and some bread and emerge with three cans of Pringles, two tubs of Golden Gaytime ice cream, a 1kg […]
Koi Dessert Bar, Chippendale
I have an older sister who I learnt a tonne off, but if I’m being super honest, I always wanted a brother. My parents thought one guy was more than enough so they ignored my repeated requests as a youngster to give me a little brother that I could mentor. As a result of that, […]
Bovine and Swine Barbecue Company, Enmore
I have a bad habit of not eating at barbecues and picnics. I usually have very little faith about people who are pulled into cooking for a random occasion and tend to eat beforehand so I don’t starve as I’m making small talk with someone who’s in the midst of a mid-life crisis when I’m […]

A Sydney institution, you can always count on a super vibrant Surry Hills crowd gathered outside of Reuben Hills. With an eclectic breakfast menu influenced by Mexican, Asian and a host of […]
Rustic Pearl, Surry Hills
As time has passed, my taste in music has changed drastically. Growing up, I listened to whatever my sister was listening to. This consisted mostly of R&B and sad break up songs when boys would dump her (confession: she only really got dumped once and the guy told her he was leaving the country immediately. It […]
