Buffalo Club

Jen and I finally had a chance to dine at Buffalo Club last night.  The venue has a bit of a reputation. Its head chef Ryan Squires was recently awarded Australia’s Best New Talent and his degustation had won a handful of local foodie awards so we were anxious to give it a try.  We had booked about a month ...

Came home today to find Jen had picked up a little something on the way home from work.  Tim Schafer’s new game Brutal Legend!

TFW Book Club: Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk

I’d always been interested in reading a Chuck Palahniuk novel.  His books are very popular amongst many of my friends, he has a reputation for subversive writing and is the author of Fight Club, which translated into an excellent film.  So a friend lent me a copy of Survivor.  I finished reading it last night. Survivor tells the story of ...

Ouzeri

We went to Ouzeri, a Mediterranean restaurant in West End for a friend’s birthday last Friday night.  We booked in advance for a table of twelve.  It took twenty minutes for the staff to take our order upon which the waitress informed us that if we ordered ala carte, it would take two hours to get served.  Two hours. So ...

Gianni’s Restaurant and Wine Bar

Gianni’s Restaurant and Wine Bar in Brisbane, run by head chef Javier Codina, is a popular restaurant that just recently won a Hostplus award for Best Fine Dining in Queensland.  So we were pretty happy when we received an invitation to dine there for a four course dinner designed by Codina himself. It seems a bit odd that a place ...
