    Over consumption is one of the major causes of many of the problems we face. I’ve written about this in my International Buy Nothing Day posts here and here. As well as in my review of the documentary What would Jesus buy? and my thoughts on the WWF Living Planet Report. It seems to me that…

    Very brave, that’s all I can say. To open a restaurant in Cape Town that only has one item on the menu, takes guts, especially when it’s steak. “What if you don’t want steak or you’re vegetarian”, is the first question people ask when I tell them about HQ. “Then don’t go to HQ”, is…

    The last show I went to at the Theatre on the Bay was the fantastic Ennio, which I enjoyed tremendously (and I believe Ennio is back again in a few months time). Last week I went to see Not the Midnight Mass which I have heard about a few times but never really knew much about.…

    The space underneath the church on Bree St, just before Heritage Square (travelling away from the mountain), has been converted into several units and the one at the end is & Union. Brought to you buy the guys who originally bought you Vida e Caffe, & Union is not your typical restaurant, but nor is it your…

    When a place has been around for a long time (more than 30 years in this case), you don’t really analyse it and review it, you just go there and tell people what it’s like. Vasco’s doesn’t care if you don’t like the place for some reason, eat there, don’t eat there, they’ll be around…

    I haven’t eaten at Manna for a while, not because it’s not good, just that there are so many places to try. On the 1st of Jan, many restaurants were closed but Manna was open so I had breakfast there and was glad I did. I had forgotten how good it is. It’s definitely the…

    Each role that we take on in our lives comes with responsibilities. That may be the role of a worker or an employer, a family member, a teacher, a driver, etc. Neglecting the responsibilities that come with each role will not only be to the detriment of others, but to our own detriment in the…

    I popped into The Loading Bay for breakfast today. I’ve been there for drinks before but not had the opportunity to test their food. I was a little apprehensive as the (blackboard) menu does not have prices on and when I was there for drinks before I was assaulted with a charge of R46 for…
