Alex: Well well well, if no one has heard of Devon Cafe, then they’re clearly oblivious to the wacky creations that are created behind these somewhat normal doors. Devon has now opened its new Devon on Danks which is where we decided to lose our “dev-ginity”. As we were coming for breakfast I really wasn’t expecting to be walking out feeling like I had eaten a giant cow but you win some you lose some. Since it was a relatively early saturday morning, the day couldn’t start without a coffee so myself and Vanessa ordered a skim mocha and a skim flat white. The coffee was okay. I generally get my coffee from Workshop or Gumption in the city so I can look past the coffee considering their up against some major competition.  Our first savoury of the morning was the cleverly named Dr Seuss’s Green Egg and Ham with bacon, potato, 63° egg, green ketchup, pea puree, soybeans, pea tendrils, jus. The dish itself was visually stunning, with a beautifully vibrant green ketchup and pea puree poured over the perfectly cooked 63° …

Alex: It’s clearly safe to say that food has the power to bring people together, socially, emotionally, and mentally. Perhaps I’m being a little to philosophical here, but I felt very welcomed and as if I had just joined a family as I dined at The Middle Feast in Merrylands. Similar to my italian heritage, food plays a large part in the lives of lebanese families. It becomes the basis of many gatherings, and on this night I was able to have a taste of all the wonderful and unique things that a lot of my lebanese friends have on a regular basis. This is just a quick run through of what we ate, there was just too much food to analyse everything so bare with me! To start off the bombardment of food, we were brought Khebes mekley, fried lebanese bread that is ear shatteringly crunchy. This is probably one of my favourite things ever! Add a dollop of hummus or Toum and you’re set.  We were also brought a basket of traditional Lebanese Bread.  The dips for the …

Bianca: ‘Copo Café’ is one of those places I’ve constantly heard murmurings of through the grapevines. Known for their breakfast menu, of which they offer all day. Great for those not so keen on the early hours. For me…it’s all about lunch. I’ve never really been mad for breakfast, I’d always push back catch up dates to catch the lunch menu. Unless it really is a unique café offering something other than the standard ‘English Breakfast’. Which is where Copo comes in, with items such as South American style beans, Bubble & Squeak, House Smoked Trout and that’s really just the tip of the iceberg. But I digress, all these delicious options still did not tempt me away from my seemingly inevitable fate to try every burger in ‘all the lands’. Joining me today was my pocket pal Joyce, otherwise known as ‘Little Rocket’, despite the fact we work together, I had yet to hear about her six-week European adventure and what other way is there for two food obsessed people to get together and …
