This week we took a visit to the Australian award winning Lebanese restaurant Al Aseel (metaphorically speaking that is). With 22 years under their belt it comes as no surprise that the restaurant has venues in 6 different locations. Making our way to the Alexandria venue, we were certainly not prepared for what lay in store. The menu is filled with an overwhelming amount of tasty Lebanese dishes and the square footage of the venue would fill any covid marshals social distancing dreams. With not even an article from Broadsheet on this place you know it’s as traditional as they come. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Please note: This episode was recorded prior to Sydney’s current lockdown. This week we embarked on Bea’s first Korean BBQ. And all we can say is thank the lord for Libby. A little PSA for everyone out there who is also thinking about enjoying Korean BBQ, make sure you have at least one party who knows what they are actually doing. There will be fire, coal, scissors, spatulas, and self-adjusting Range-hoods.Coined as a global franchise introducing Korean flavours to the world, 678 Korean BBQ resides in Sydney’s CBD. Not to be confused with the one in Haymarket, as two parties warned multiple times.Once you do make it, you’ll find yourself walking into traditional inspired interiors that are hosting meat with a shy marbling score of eight plus. Listen now to hear the drama unfold… See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week we headed to Zetland to visit one of the many, much loved Kickin'Inn restaurants. The story of Kickin'Inn starts back in 2017 in Dubai when two friends Sami, a fast-food chain owner, and Ravi, a management consultant, came up with a plan to spread fresh, high-quality seafood at affordable prices throughout Australia. The pair have transformed the seafood dining experience by removing cutlery and plates, replacing them with mallets and scissors. Kickin'Inn is no ordinary seafood restaurant, the tables were topped with fresh white paper table cloths which then were covered in bags upon bags of juicy red seafood poured onto the table. This experience is not for the faint-hearted – tune in to hear what we thought.Disclaimer: This episode was recorded before Sydney went into a snap lockdown.

Lights, camera, action! Because it literally felt like we were on the set of a movie walking into Franca Brassiere. The dim lighting, green leather booths and effortless charm simply had us transported. Located on the iconic MacLeay St Potts Point, Franca Brasserie is not your classic French Brasserie. The menu orchestrated by former Bathers Pavilion head chef Alexis Besseau favours the modern and Mediterranean showcasing regional France and neighbouring coastal towns. With a 2.5 million dollar fit out this venue brought to us by Andrew Becher of Double Bay's Pelicano leaves little to the imagination and you simply must get there.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

As autumn reaches cold peaks we thought what better way to warm ourselves than to indulge in some hearty Italian food. We know what you’re thinking, wow they’re at Italian again. But...our dear friends, this is not just any Italian joint. Perched up on Macleay St in Potts Point lives a restaurant that goes by the name of Ria Pizza + Wine. This beauty is part of the Bentley group and lives up to its siblings reputation. With an interior that’s been flicked with fluoro paint and an industrial sculpture that hangs from the centre of the room the aesthetics are fully engaged. Coined as an Australia styled pizza venue you’ll find your Queensland prawns, octopus from WA and saltbush (not to be mistaken for kale). See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Located on one of the busiest streets in Marrickville, Pepitos is already making its mark. Self-described as a rocking neighborhood taberna, first-time restaurant owner Jose Alkon and his team are serving up traditional South American cuisine as we have never seen. The drinks are not to be missed with an extensive wine list featuring local minimal intervention wine, however, the Peruvian Pisco is certainly front and centre. With a fresh white aesthetic with walls covered in posters and family pictures, it’s no wonder walk-ins aren’t advised. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

There’s fuh and then there’s fuh and Eat Fuh is where it’s at. Before the opening of its permanent venue in Marrickville in 2016 and a second in Darlinghurst in 2018, Eat Fuh was known only to its dedicated market stall followers so when word got out they were moving to bricks and mortar it was a feeding frenzy. But this isn’t any old fuh joint, unlike other Vietnamese restaurants that have passed down recipes owner Hoang Nguyen says he is from a new generation of Vietnamese, reinventing and interpreting. Working together with his mother Hanh Ngoc Tang or as some call her Mama Pho, the pair are combining the ideas of other people and making it their own.

Opened in 2018 by the team who brought us Grandma’s Bar & the Wild Rover, James Bradey and Warren Burns have taken the status quo and thrown it out the fire door exit. Bistecca the backstreet basement restaurant has chins wagging as it has been coined one of Australia’s most unique dining experiences. The Italian classic cocktail bar and restaurant is purely dedicated to Tuscany’s admired cut of steak the Bistecca Alla Fiorentina. The wine list solely features Italian wine, the meat saws are sharp and the vibes are electric. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week we visited “A Bondi institution” as Raw Bar have so humbly coined themselves. Nestled on the corner of Warners Ave in Bondi Raw Bar is very well known amongst the locals and no stranger to the influencers. Serving up a delicious, fresh and sustainable Japanese menu head chef Shintaro Honda has been heroed for his work in the now iconic venue which since its birth in 1995 has paved the way for the Japanese food scene in Sydney. But is Sushi just Sushi...? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week we hustled our way to Oxford street where we introduced ourselves to a building that will most likely see our faces again...Cafe Freda’s. It has only been a few hot minutes since the Chippendale nightclub Freda’s shut their doors after a fun nine years. And now, much like the original venue, Cafe Fredas has an emphasis on expression, art, and music. Which if you know us here at the OG headquarters well, you know those are three things we absolutely love. With a bright yellow exterior, the building itself is rather hard to miss, not to mention you can actually smell the Chinese/Malaysian inspired cooking from across the road as you strut right in.
