Hand me a never ending packet of Tim Tams and a bottomless tube of Pringles and I could quite easily spend the rest of my days on the couch, 2008 NRL grand final on repeat, alternating between sweet and savoury until either my belly moulded itself to the shape of the coffee table or I succumbed to the inevitable coronary!

Aløft – the prequel | Hobart
The most exciting development in Tasmania’s food scene in 2015 has been the emergence of Aløft, brain child of local chef Christian Ryan and his good friend Glenn Byrnes (recently of Garagistes fame), and supported by Heiki Stanley (ex-Pilgrim) and Madeleine Paske of MONA’s The Source.

It’s a very exciting time for Tasmanian foodies, with a handful of fantastic new venues opening their doors to the public over the last few months. While Texan comfort food […]

EDIT (6 Dec 2015): Two pieces of sad news. Unfortunately Macy passed away a few months back and we recently heard that River’s Edge has closed its doors. On the […]
Meat Frank, my new best friend – Hobart, Tasmania
In a world full of Ryders, Braxtons and Zaydens, what ever happened to the name Frank? Exuding confidence, practicality, a no-nonsense approach to life. No one messes with Frank! Yet […]
