Being passionate about food and dining venues ensures you are very connected with Sydney, not only with what’s happening, what’s coming up, the new venues but the people you meet who you do not ordinarily encounter every day in my day job. A lunch break on a weekday is…

Food Photography from the Bowery Lane Menu
I was having lunch with a work colleague the other day at one of the establishments in the new Wintergarden complex, Bowery Lane on 1 O’Connell Street, Sydney and I introduced her to the people there and somewhat surprised she asked “How come you know the restaurant people so well?” Then it struck me, wouldn’t…

Intercontinental Sydney Double Bay Stockroom
A noticeable trend is happening in Sydney. No longer are hotel restaurants mere afterthoughts and as places for guests to dine because they prefer the proximity of a hotel bar or restaurant to their beds.
