Kid Boston
Kid Boston 44 Chapel St Windsor Victoria 3181 There are quite a few places who knock up a damn decent Bloody Mary in Melbourne. Richmond Hill Cafe and Larder, Galleon Cafe and (my personal favourite) Huxtable, to name just a few. The latest evolution...
Spahr’s Seafood
Spahr’s Seafood 3682 Highway 90 E Des Allemands, LA 70030 About 40 minutes south west of New Orleans sits a a tiny town in Cajun country called Des Allemands. It’s not really mentioned in any travel guides or tourism sites and there’s nothing particularly extraordinary...
Meet ya at the County Line
County Line 6500 Bee Cave Rd Austin, TX 78746 There’s a great deal to be said about a restaurant that has been in business for over 35 years. Plus one that, despite having opened nine additional locations, manages to maintain the quality and feel...
A toast to The Highball
The Highball 1142 S Lamar Blvd Austin, TX 78704 Friends, The Highball is cool. Not “oh yeah I don’t mind if you have a couple of my fries” cool, but rather “this joint makes the Old Spice guy looks like a chump” cool. The Highball is...

Finding Comfort in New Orleans
Good morning from Lafayette, Louisiana. I’ve been a bad, bad blogger, but I have a great excuse – New Orleans. I’ve finally been reunited with Southern Comfort and we’ve spent the last few days in the Crescent City. In case you didn’t know, if...
Frank: a magnificent Bloody Mary experience
Frank 407 Colorado St Austin, TX 78701 With a motto of “Hot Dogs, Cold Beer”, it would be pretty difficult to dislike an establishment such as Frank. Their downtown location is a veritable wiener emporium, with specialty housemade sausages like The Jackalope, a combination of antelope,...
Bloody Mary @ Crow Bar Austin
Crow Bar 3116 S Congress Austin, TX 78704 Music is such a huge influence on the ambience of a bar. So when I walked into Crow Bar and heard them playing Metallica’s “Creeping Death”, I was a happy customer. Crow Bar offers a full service cocktail...
