Yeah I have been meaning to find a top ten of places to eat in Sydney that are real places to eat. Not ‘you-have-to-change-what-you-wear-places-to-eat’, but ‘have-a-shower-put-your-phone-in-your-pocket-and-jam-your-kicks-on-and-waltz-into-places-to-eat’.
Sydney Morning Herald have just published such a list. Which I find a lot easier than making my own, mostly due to the fact I don’t have to do it. and this is it;

Go for charcoal chicken with peri peri, and chips
as time goes on over the next few months, I am vowing to get to one of these places every month, or couple of weeks and give each one of the culinary delights a rating.
I will call it the ‘Panda-Michelin Man- Rating’. I have decided it will be in stars also, and find this to be only a coincidence that Michelin chooses that format too.
Wish Me luck.
