Byron Burger Australia, Byron Bay
As we approached Byron Burger Australia my first impression was that it looked like what I thought a burger bar should look like and that made me happy. It had seats and tables, really happy staff who seemed genuinely happy to be at work, a grill to cook burgers on, and a menu that declared…

Campfire (or possibly home oven) Chicken with Broad Beans and Bacon
“You may sleep like animals and smell like animals, but you shall eat like men”. Well, I heard through a friend of mine that that is indeed what Jesus said and by jeepers I do believe I agree with that man! I am more than happy to sleep on the floor with nothing but a…

Pork Shoulder Roast with Brussels Sprouts and Apples… while you’re out doing cool shit
Don’t worry, I am still alive… albeit just barely. It’s been a hell of a couple of weeks in my world, as we have opened a restaurant. That’s right, our very own restaurant. So fucking exciting for us but oh how our lives have been turned a little sideways. I do know this was our…

Pork Chop Jambalaya for a Jambalaya Virgin
Best I can figure Jambalaya is a bit of a Cajun classic that may have its roots in the Spanish paella. It’s a tasty-assed mash up some kind of meat, smoked sausage, a few vegetables and rice in a pot, where they are left to make love and produce a love child of immensely really…

Chelsea Buns with a Nutty Twist (from Ginger and Bread)
It is 1:07am, a time that would usually be considered somewhere between well past my bedtime and way to early to be waking up. There was a time in my life when this would be the time that the party was just getting started, but now with the responsibility of having a family, working the…
