Tops feeds in Sydney

[horrie hastings]

My favourite pizzas over all are Pizza Picasso in Newtown, they had a nice spot on King St but the owner closed the eat in section and kept the kitchen as take away only and opened a wine bar in the eat in section, now the wine bar has taken over the whole site[it is a very nice wine bar too] and the pizza place has moved a bit further south on King St right St Peters station, so its a win win all round

Well there goes the neighbourhood stsae..White's has closed down and will be taken over by one of those oh so trendy overpriced tasteless macaron places by a 'celebrity' chef. Clovelly is now the new Woollahra..Come up to my end of town instead when next you are home and go to Johnny's Patisserie, Vaucluse Ocean Seafoods and Thirteen's buddy's chicken shop, Birds Galore. We still eat normal food up here...

Dang they were a great little pie shop.

I'm a fan of Ocean Seafoods RWB, will try the others next time I'm in Sydney also, on the way to the Watto Bay for a few coldies.

Hoh Won is in my top five. Their chicken wings are sensational!

Charging Cross Pizza was an old favourite during my years living in the Jungo. Especially the special garlic breads

Hoh Won rocks.

Charos, with extra herbs on my special garlic bread maaaaaaaaaate.

There's a top little pizza joint across the alley way from O'Malleys in the cross.

Don't quote me on that though, they could have been shit for all I know, but after a full day on the piss starting at 6 in the morning on a fishing charter they were farrken awesome at half past 2 on Sunday morning!

On that topic, O'Malleys is the best pub in Sydney!

I had a roast spathcock & roast potatoes for my main yesterday for lunch at La Botte D'Oro Restaurant 137 Marion Street
Leichhardt. My beautiful 76 YO mum took me out for lunch for my Birthday as none of you on here arranged anything for me.

The Balkan is my favourite restaurant. My wife and I go there about once a month.
Gelbison at Bondi is also great if you want a quick Italian meal.

As a youngfella me and a few mates thought it would be an idea to buy two Maccas vanilla thick shakes and a bottle of Kahalua each and pour out 1/2 the thick shakes and put in the Kahalua.

Thing is we did it in a park in the night and didn't realize the Kahalua sunk to the bottom and thru a straw we were drinking basically straight Kahalua.

Ahhh the things we do when we are 16.

Youre telling the story old mate. I will leave the 'spathcock' story to you you 'spathtic'!

So you drive an 'old' BMW then? Very very appropriate!

Your car is almost 6 years old cobber. Time for an upgrade and Im just the guy to help you!

This place is interesting, recently opened in Alexandria on O'Riordan st, had a couple of nice lunches there but they now have a buffet breakfast on Saturdays which is nice. Grandmas Little Bakery.http://www.grandmasbakery.com.au/

the original grandmas little bakery is in collector (bout 50km out of canberra) and is set on a olive grove. food is great, osso bucco, lamb shanks is what we had, and everything they cook there is available frozen so you can take it for work whenever you want. sourdough bread the pies and feta pastries are great and the little shop in the back with dips and olives is where you will spend more money for take home stuff.

Good time to drop in for you sydney siders is if you come to the raiders game as it is right on the fed highway at fedra olive grove.

Yeah i remember reading about the original being in Collector in the Sydney Morning Herald.Last time i was in Collector i went to the Daily Pie shop, it wasnt to bad, pies were pretty good, didnt see much else there, the pub had just closed down and i remember a sign saying the bridge was closed for repairs so didnt do much exploring.Still remember driving down to the Snowy back in the 70's when the highway still ran through Collector, had to stop to get petrol, it didnt look like much had changed 30 odd years later.
The other thing i like doing sometimes when i'm in Canberra is go to Poachers Pantry, very pricy but the food is very good as are some of their wines that i have sampled.

yeah not much to collector, at least this joint is right on the highway.

Canberras got some good places but my fav at the moment is a place called "smoque" in the city. its a american ribs type place and the platter for $99 has pork ribs,brisket,ribeye,pulled pork,chicken and buffalo wings with plenty of sides. i loved it but as it is the only real rib joint in canberra i dont have much to compare it to. i tried getting into hurricanes in bondi afew times last yr during the christmas break, but they were booked for the week i was there, and the line to wait for a table was way to long. must be good!?
