Le Diner En Blanc Joburg – A Secret Dinner In The City

No Comments

We are really looking forward to attending one of Joburg’s favourite ‘super secret’ events – Diner En Blanc, which will see foodies, fun lovers, media personalities and others donning their beautiful white outfits, packing their picnic baskets all while enjoying it at a secret destination. This is set to be the signature event for Spring- Le Diner En Blanc will take place on Saturday 29th September and the exceptional gastronomic experience is to be accompanied by a host of outstanding sponsors. Michelin trained Chef Wandile Mabaso is highly regarded as one of the most innovative chefs in South Africa and will no doubt take this fine dining event to new heights. Says Wandile “Diner En Blanc gives a wide scale access to French food cooked at the highest level, rather than the elite few that can afford it.” The wine partner is award winning Stellenbosch producer, The Idiom Collection, a…

We caught up with the gorgeous TV presenter, celeb blogger and brand new mum, Roxy Burger, to find out more about where she loves to hang out in our beautiful city. Favourite Restaurant… I’m a sucker for GREAT sushi and dim sum, so my go to would have to be Koi in Sandton.

Favourite coffee spot… I recently had cake and coffee at Gabriella’s Tea Room in Parktown North (formerly the Pudding Shop) and it was decadent. Their food is delicious and there cakes are phenomenal too. I highly recommend their carrot and pineapple cake. Favourite Hotel… I would have to say the Saxon Hotel in Sandhurst.

Making Kitsch…very, very cool!

No Comments

Bartending as a career has really taken off, and competitions such as Protégé and World Class are providing platforms for talent to shine and helping to launch people like Julian Short, owner of Sin + Tax, into the limelight they so deserve. Julian’s highlight for the year is being able to support not one, but two salaried professional barmen at his establishment. His eyes light up when he says, “A few years back there was no way you’d have been able to make a career out of bartending in the South African bar industry as a mixologist.” Innovation is the key to Julian’s success, coupled with the growing range of seriously mixable, premium brands becoming available in South Africa. Reinventing the kitsch cocktails of the seventies and eighties using fresh ingredients that subtly enhance the handcrafted base spirits is resulting in a cocktail revolution in South African bars and restaurants.…
