HOT: The Runaways

By Kylie ⋅ July 23, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Floria Sigismondi is the director of some of the most impressive music videos of the past fifteen years. Her dark, seductive work has accompanied music by the likes of Marilyn Manson, David Bowie, Interpol, the White Stripes and even Christina Aguilera; strangely, even if you don’t like the song you can be drawn in by [...]

NOT: Earth ‘n’ Sea Amazing Pizza & Pasta, 142 Oxford St Bulimba

By CazM ⋅ July 20, 2010 ⋅ 5 comments

MM and I were on the hunt for a quick and relatively cheap feed before catching a movie recently, so instead of settling at one of the fancy cafes on Oxford St, we headed to Earth ‘n’ Sea for what we anticipated would be a cheap, hearty meal that we could woof down and then [...]

HOT: Denim Co. – Little Stanley St, Southbank.

By CazM ⋅ July 16, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

After a string of delicious and HOT breakfast-related reviews lately, I’ve reached a point where our binary rating system of HOT or NOT is causing me some grief. It’s easy to issue a HOT when the food is fantastic and you can’t really fault a place at all. Similarly, it’s easy to issue a NOT [...]

HOT: Bow Thai Restaurant, Shop 14, Cathedral Place, Wickham St, Fortitude Valley.

By CazM ⋅ July 14, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

A friend recently asked me where they could find a decent Thai restaurant in the Valley, and to their surprise (and mine), I had nothing. How could someone who spends so much time eating and drinking their way around the CBD and immediate surrounds not be able to nominate a decent Thai place? So (with [...]

HOT: Atomica Eat Drink, 173 Boundary St, West End.

By CazM ⋅ July 12, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

There’s a range of venues to choose from in the West End precinct for a late Saturday breakfast and Atomica has always been one to serve consistently sound and reasonably priced food. My most recent visit was no exception. MM and I have a pretty standard routine of getting to the markets nice and early [...]

HOT: Canvas, 16B Logan Rd, Woolloongabba

By CazM ⋅ July 8, 2010 ⋅ One comment

MM has his finger well and truly on the pulse when it comes to bars around Brisbane. As a die hard fan of sophisticated cocktail making and drink mixology, he loves to sit at the bar and request a few of his faves from his days in Melbourne (frequenting the oh-so-cool laneway bars) and provide [...]

Hot: Jam 4012, 3/1208 Sandgate Rd, Nundah

By Kylie ⋅ July 6, 2010 ⋅ 9 comments

Since I moved to Nundah with my now husband almost three years ago, we’ve taken great pleasure in sampling the fine cuisine on offer in the local area. Now that my best friend lives in the suburb as well, I have an extra excuse to eat meals out and show her around the local area. [...]

HOT: Otello, 1/180 Oxford St, Bulimba

By CazM ⋅ July 2, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s not very often that I chose Italian over my much loved and old faithful cuisines of Thai, Japanese or Asian Fusion. I’m wondering if now, following a night of pure indulgence at Otello (Bar, Café, Italiano) that my faith in Italian cuisine has been restored and perhaps my love affair with all things pasta [...]

HOT: Australian Barista School – 131 Wickham Tce, Spring Hill.

By CazM ⋅ June 30, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Since I’ve known him, MM has always wanted to do a course on how to make the perfect coffee. So, being the exceptional wife that I am, I bought him (and me!) a spot at Australian Barista School for his birthday last month. There seems to be plenty of coffee schools around Brisbane, but this [...]

HOT: Castelli’s, 2/11 Nash St, Rosalie

By CazM ⋅ June 28, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

With a myriad of cafes and restaurants to choose from in the busy Rosalie area, I was really pleased with my random selection of Castelli’s when on a lunch date with an old friend recently. Castelli’s has been tucked in next to Cold Rock at Rosalie for as long as I can remember. Although I’ve [...]
