I’m going to forget a lot of things when I’m old and grey. Whoops, I meant I’m going to continue forgetting things as I continue getting older and greyer. I’ll probably remember the big moments (my nephews being born, my graduations, the time I finally caught every Pokémon in existence) but a lot of the […]

Haven Tailoring Coffee Joyously, Surry Hills
Once upon a time, I didn’t have the internet. The year was 2008 and a rival gang decided to cut my connection in an attempt to sever my ability to communicate with all my henchmen. An alternate version of the story involves my parents snipping it absent mindedly thinking it was connected to an explosive. […]
Cuckoo Callay (Revisited), Newtown
Let’s take the Delorean back to 2002 for a second. I was in love with this girl. Ok, maybe I didn’t fully comprehend what being in love meant. All I know is that there wasn’t anyone else I wanted to share a bag of chips with more than this girl in particular. You have to […]
A Weekend of Eats in Melbourne
People who haven’t known me for long always seem to be curious about what I was like in school. Was I a teacher’s pet? Was I bullied? Is it true that I owned a pink lunchbox at one point? Did I come up with harebrained schemes that involved selling dirt to people in McDonalds bags […]
Paper Plane Cafe, Parramatta
I will never forget my first experience on a plane It was for a family trip to Queensland, I was 11 years old and not sure what to expect. I had always wanted to fly but I imagined doing it with a red cape on my back and not cramped up in a tiny space […]
Buttermelt Cafe, Strathfield
I have a black v-neck sweater that’s perfect for all occasions. It’s my go-to garment for work, dates and even when I need to settle a score on the basketball court. I’ve kicked many an ass with my blue button up underneath my go-to sweater. Spoiler alert: Buttermelt Cafe is the dining equivalent of my black […]
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 […]
Brewtown Newtown
I like to branch out and visit hidden gems and shed a little spotlight on some of the lesser known eateries that Sydney has to offer. Sure, even the most popular spots could use a second opinion but I rather be the first voice to sing the praises of an establishment I have an affinity […]
Devon on Danks, Waterloo
It’s only been four months since I wrote about Devon Cafe and my morning routine is completely different to the one I described back then. I think the blonde woman who was always running late has been fired. The couple that was once on and off are now completely off. I still see the guy every now […]
Tapeo, Redfern
I’ve got a massive chip on my shoulder the metaphorical equivalent of three packs of Pringles. I’m not sure when it started but I can think of a number of incidents that contributed to it. Let’s go back to fourth grade for a bit. School photos had just arrived and my teacher was handing them […]
Autolyse, Chippendale
I was without my phone for most of last Saturday. It’s a long story but it involves chronic texting, needless browsing of Instagram, checking to see if anyone read iFat (still nope) and leaving my phone charger at the office. Combine all those factors and I was left with a nice plastic paperweight that I […]
Cuckoo Callay, Newtown
I’ve been called a lot of mean things in my life. Rightfully so but still. The most memorable insult I ever received was the time a girl in my modern history class called me a “sl*t.” Keep in mind that this was before I had even touched a boob so I was extremely confused. There […]
