There’s a new place in town that makes the AB better than everyone else. It was only by chance did I venture out this way to order one. One of original AB creators, the Blue and White Cafe, just happened to be closed for holidays, and with my insurmountable craving, I travelled to the Eastern…

American Candy Stand Cupcakes
After a night out for dinner, it was dessert time at the American Candy Stand. This cosy little place is certainly well decorated and offers all your American treats. Tonight, I went halves on a Lemon Whoopie. It’s not a cookie and it’s not a cake, but something in between. The biscuit part of the…
Sneaky Pickle
As I arrived at my second Fork on the Road, I was overwhelmed by the choice. The first thing that caught my eye was the Sneaky Pickle van. As your first gut instinct is usually correct, I decided to listen to my gut (it was making all sorts of noise at this stage) and ordered…
Fasta Pasta – North Adelaide
I’ve been going to Fasta Pasta for years, albeit at various locations around Adelaide. The meals are quick, cheap and casual. The current promotion at the moment is their $7 lunches, which almost makes them irresistible. Today, I ordered the Ravioli Montavana, which is basically mushroom added to bolognese sauce. The ravioli was cooked well….
Outback Jack’s – Glenelg
There was a group of us looking for a feed, and the only place on the Marina where food was being served at 5:30pm in the afternoon was Outback Jacks. The location is fantastic, but that’s about it. The service was below average. There was hardly anybody around whenever we needed them. For entree, we…
Tiffany Thai
Tiffany Thai is a real hidden gem. Located on Gouger Street, amongst other Thai restaurants, this cosy little cafe offers all your traditional Thai dishes. The staff here are friendly and inviting, and the service was exceptional. Menus were provided as soon as I walked in, and water for the table was provided as I…
The Archer Hotel
Over the years, I’ve been coming to the Archer for all sorts of reasons. I’ve come here to drink. I’ve come here to dance. I’ve come here to drown my sorrows. I’ve even celebrated my birthday here. Today, I’m here for the $10 Chicken Parmi. The Archer is a popular venue. Located on the busy…
Astonish Patisserie
Astonish Patisserie is so close to home for me. It’s my one stop shop for late night sugar fixes. This little dessert place reminds me of someones home library, although the coffee table made out of old books needs a bit more thought. The atmosphere here was relaxing and the service was OK. For what appeared…
Chimichurri Grill
Argentinian food coming from a truck? How could you possibly go wrong? The Chimichurri Grill is a mobile food truck that serves Argentinian food. The menu is quite basic with three possible options; Chimi Steak, Chimi Chorizo and Chimi Cheese (vegetarian option). The wonderful smells emanating from the food truck really get the stomach rumbling. Today,…
Lucia’s
Apparently Lucia’s is an Adelaide institution. Located in the Central Markets, this place has been around for over half a century. I’ve seen this place packed every time I’ve walked past, so it’s obvious that they’re doing something right. The decor probably hasn’t changed since it first opened, and the atmosphere is relaxed. The staff…
