Foodie USA Tour 2012
Frank – Hot Dogs Cold Beer
Quite possibly the best Hot Dogs in the world and a damn good coffee!! The ‘purveyors of the artisan sausage’ are an institution and the queue outside is totally justified! We grab a ‘cortado’ and it is perfect! But it is the dogs we want and there are plenty to choose from! The menu is fab and my mouth is watering just thinking of them!! The Jalapeno Cheese Dog is soooooooooooo good! Jalapeno and cheddar cheese-stuffed 100% Vienna beef topped with cheese and jalapenos –…
Food Truckin’ Austin
We had this crazy idea – one night at SXSW in Austin we would do a Food Truck Challenge! Lets hit every food truck in Downtown Austin and have a taste from each one….. foolish! There were about 60 trucks that we managed to find and we stopped looking pretty quick! Food trucks are serious business in America and in NYC there are about 4,000! Austin has it’s fair share too and many have re-located to pick up the business from feeding the SXSW visitors…

Combi Coffee Bliss
Combi Coffee has always been one of my favourite spots in Albert Park to grab a good coffee, usually on the go I stop at the window and chuckle at the astro turf walls and stools and gaze longingly at the muffins before rushing on to my destination. But today we have been walking for a while and when we come across the bright cushion covered chairs basking in the sun it is a perfect moment to appreciate the Autumn weather and take a moment!…
Komeyui Sushi-tastic!!
A gorgeous sunny Autumn day and perfect for a long walk and a spot of lunch! Komeyui has been on my list for a while and finally we make it! Once a Greek, then French – it seems Japanese is the right cuisine for this spot and there is a decent number of tables already seated 20 minutes after opening. The Komeyui website speaks about the food philosophy of Japan and how this has translated into the food served at this wonderful restaurant. “Kome –…
Bedi’s Curry Adventures!
A local curry house is an important part of a good Friday night! BYO makes it even better! Bedi’s has been in South Melbourne for a loooooonnnnggggg time and there is barely a table free by 7.30 on a friday night. The service is all good, the atmosphere is nice, bit of Bollywood on the tv and we have everything we need for a great night Indian style. I have been craving a good curry for a while and some decent onion Bahjia – not…
Percy’s Aeroplane Flying High!
My favourite coffee hit on a morning! Can’t beat it and sometimes I give in to a wonderful savoury muffin or any other wonderful treats they have on offer! Today we get to try breakfast and what a great decision that was! Heuvos Rancheros is a beautiful dish with a hearty serve of baked chorizo, white beans stewed with cheese, baked egg and crusty bread. Stunning! But they are nothing compared to my Smoked Buxton trout piled onto a crispy potato rosti with spinach, a…
