Its really hard to find a cafe site that doesn’t suck. I think the best one around here is the Single Origin site, but even that wont give me a feed from their news posts.
Command Shift 3 show a few cool cafe sites that have won more that 70% of fights:
For even worse try a command shift 3 search for caterers.
All cafe and catering sites must suck.
This incredible chef Heston Blumenthal has an awesome cooking series called Kitchen Chemistry. Well worth checking out…
Heston’s incredible creations shows there is still hope our food mash up dreams. That kid at school who had ice-cream and ketchup..? Genius.
Heston uses science to create magnificent food. His Michelin Three Star restaurant Fat Duck, has been voted best restaurant in the world.
And on the topic of polluting food, surely this wont take off, Red Bull already gives you bad enough breath…
From one type of poo food to another.
Always be nice to the waiter, they are the last person to touch your food.
Gianni sent me this Burger, Venezualas answer to the Quad stack, El Diablo.
Worth watching to the end,Fuck McDonald!
Where is the best burger… At cafe Giulia?
Found Cafe Giulia which sells awesome gourmet burgers for under ten bucks eat in. Homemade style with a patty that kind of breaks apart the way old school milk bar burgers did.
burger at cafe giulia
It was a great burger because of the:
* Mixed salad
* Fall apart homestyle herb packed patty
* Special mustard sauce
Hot Chefs. How to cook Coke or beer marinated steak
The National Restaurants Association have an annual Hot Chef competition on YouTube. This year’s winner was Keith Snow’s ‘Wild Caught Fire Margarita Shrimp‘. But! The most viewed video was Rob Barrett’s Date Night Dinner, romantic coconut shrimp.
Chairman Kaga would love it, Shrimp Battle!
Deeper in Rob Barrett’s library is the reason for his fame. How to cook Coke or beer marinated steak has 190,000 views in a few months.
‘you can also use beer’ - awesome. Coke marinade arrives in the first minute… unless you want to wait until 1:40 there’s a wierd bit about a rub that ‘make bigger’ like msg.
Cookingfordad gets controversial with his banned vid where he makes yellow snow pops (out of lemonade).
Good to see the boys over at Mecca on King St, Sydney have kicked off their blog.
