Creative Director, copywriter, and co-owner of the Foodblog Group. I heart oysters, gin and tonic, and clever advertising.

Saul’s. It’s been around for years and never seems to stop growing. I came to Cape Town on holiday when I was 15, we went out somewhere in town, then ended up at Saul’s at 3am eating burgers and chips – pretty much welcomed me into the world of late night (tipsy) eating. Reminiscing the […] More
And they have done it again, La Mouette have changed their menu and changed lives. Ok, well, at least my life. It is really great, I had a sneak peak of it at their annual Twitterati Party, which was better than I could ever have imagined. Well done to Mari, Henry and the entire team […] More

It isn’t often that a restaurant seems to have the perfect amount of staff. They normally succumb to the following problems: Too few: you wait 45 minutes to get your drink, “the” waiter is a sweaty, panicky mess and when your chicken arrives at your table, it’s beef. Too many: they stare at you from […] More
