District Dining
Surry Hills is probably the beating heart of Sydney’s culinary body. On this jaunt home to my motherland I was pleased to find one of the finest additions to the district is smack in the centre of it all.
New York Food Crawl
Everybody from Frank Sinatra to Jay-Z has extolled the virtues and bemoaned the vices of New York City. This being my first trip to NYC, I decided to spend a day traipsing across town eating everything in sight.
Combal.Zero

Momofuku Ssäm Bar, New York
There are many reasons why you’d go to Momofuku Ssäm. You might be looking for somewhere to sip a 7-spice sour or a pickle brine martini. But if you’ve made it to David Chang’s flagship, you’ve probably come for the pork buns.
noma, Denmark
Rather than fairy tales, Hamlet’s castle, Viking saga and Technicolor LEGO, Douglas Blyde opts for the purity and persistence of Denmark’s cuisine, jolted by the tongue by René Redzepi at noma…
The Cottage, La Jolla, California
Jackie doesn’t like breakfast. Except when she’s dining at The Cottage in San Diego’s La Jolla, where Californian and Mexican cuisines blend seamlessly to create a breakfast of champions. Oh yes, Jackie likes those breakfasts.
