Town Cafe, Bangalow
It’s been a while since we’ve ventured into the multi award winning Town Café. Seriously. This place gets an award for something at least a couple of times a year. Their last accolades came from the “Delicious Magazine Produce Awards” in the form of the award for best use of local produce by a restaurant.…

Maggie Beer’s ox tail with orange, olives and walnuts. Foreword by my Jennee.
Jennee’s bit (not Jennee’s bits you perve! She gave that up years ago when I made an honest woman of her!) “Some of you may know me as the hard arse, competitive wifee that loves a good slow roast anything and ensures that Gray’s head doesn’t over inflate due to too much praise. But what…

The Sunday roast… the final instalment
The Sunday roast… or not… So you still can’t do a decent Sunday roast? You just don’t have enough time… your kids are so hungry they’re starting to eat each other… and you’ve already lost three. Lucky your white trash genes decreed that you shalt have eleven children. Even if you do have to sacrifice…

My lack of recent posts is definitely relative to the arrival of “the duckman”
I know I haven’t posted anything for a week or quite possibly longer… or maybe even less… I couldn’t actually be 100% sure. But there is a valid and just reason for my absence; drinking. I’m not talking about performing the task we all need to complete to keep our body hydrated and there fore…

Grill’d. A place to eat burgers…
Grill’d. A place to eat burgers… Grill’d at Coolangatta. A place to eat burgers and look at scantily clad women and guys with really big arms… Another contender for the trendy-and-maybe-a-little-bit-healthier-fast-food-chain-of-the-year award. These guys do make a good burger. From seemingly humble beginnings in Sydney they have grown to a chain of at least two…

Lunch at Le Relais Bressan, Flaxton
Lunch at Le ble bleu blah blah… Or lunch at Le Relais Bressan (if you can speak French a little better then Joey from “Friends” circa 1990s sometime), Flaxton. This place was the best dining “experience” of our trip. Good food and wine, great service and meals that hit your table fast… Three courses in…

A toast, a toast, to the Sunday roast… for mid week dinner
Too often the great Sunday roast is a concept that is abandoned to die a lonely death in a post apocaliptic waste land of shriveled up battery hens, tough, dry-as-Egyptian-sand-script lamb, under cooked potatoes, over cooked greyish hued beans and gravox gravy. Or maybe the baine marie for the “pension card holders 9 dollar special”…

Spirit House Restaurant and Cooking School, Yandina, Qld
Now that we have our sea side adventures out of the way, it’s time for us to try a little mountain life. Like top o’ the range, can see for fifty kilometers to the Pacific Ocean (good to keep an eye out for sea born invasion), king of the hills type business. Git right up…

Iluka 2466, day three
Day three. Wake up at crazy a.m. (an actual time) and straight into a brisk walk through the forest. Whatever made me think that was going to be a great idea also decided I needed a slap up, country town breakfast complete with the same cheap white bread that has nourished white trash kids for…
