From morning to midnight and back again, EAT/DRINK is FourThousand's guide to cafes, bars and restaurants in Brisbane. We know the best coffee because we drink 20 a day (each), we know the good restaurants because we can't cook, and we'll tell you where to find hidden bars and other places that still let you smoke so that we can ask you for a cigarette when you get there. EAT/DRINK is as voracious as our appetites and a much better filter than our livers, which stopped working a long time ago. Email your EAT/DRINK suggestions to: talk@fourthousand.com.au
A new tradition has formed at our house, similar to the monthly cleaning out of the back corner of the fridge and the fortnightly roundup of forks from between the couch cushions (weird, I know - but it's true). It's the Saturday late-morning food run (read hangover food mission) and it makes life just a little more tolerable, especially when the kitchen is a mess and there are no forks.
"Good duck, not bad duck, not Daffy Duck, not Donald Duck, Goooood Duck." - Kai (the cooking genius), on which brand of noodles you should use in his chicken noodle soup recipe.
A man gets older, a man sees his empire falling down around him, a man watches as younger, faster, more-talented shits take over, a man turns to cooking.
You've tried Queensland's tastiest pie, the meatiest pie, the crispiest pie, the fanciest pie and maybe even the vegan-friendliest pie? Now say hello to the fastest pie.
No more breaking highway pace when transit lunching between surf and city. Now that Goldstein's have launched the Gold Coast's first ever drive-through pie shop, you can get your pastry fix without even leaving the comfort of the car.
The thought of going without food for an extended period of time is nothing short of terrifying for the likes of me, let alone the twin gods of caffeine and alcohol. So imagine my surprise when my glamorous, fellow food-loving sidekick (let's call her Beyonce) announced she was embarking on a week-long lemon detox diet, consisting of nothing but lemon juice, ‘tree' syrup, cayenne pepper and herbal tea.
I have many fond memories of the 2008 Olympics: exhaustion from staying up to watch the opening ceremony, laughs as an Australian named Rice won gold in China, wonder at the patriotism which inspires me to temporarily tattoo small flags to my face every four years. But the best thing of all was the McDonalds Flavour of the Games promo.
"I feel like a glass of water..."
"That sounds about as appetising as a big pile of dirt."
An age old dilemma. Although not exactly a shining beacon of newness and discovery, GCc means that you'll never have to worry about the boring nature of your constant water consumption.
Please note that Cottee's is not a suitable substitution for this magic formula.
You can custom make anything these days; cars, shoes - you can even design your own baby. However, when it comes to food - it's a little more difficult. I forever find myself saying, "could I please have the dressing on the side?" or, "my sushi without the seaweed?" Some call it picky, but I just know what I want.
