How Martha Got on the Vineyard
While killing time aboard the Minne-Ha-Ha steamboat in the summer of 2008, I cracked open Kitchen Confidential. Perched atop a milk crate, I devoured Anthony Bourdain’s brilliantly crass account of the restaurant world, reluctantly tearing myself away whenever a customer entered the snackbar deck. In between attending to my summer job duties in Lake George, NY, I’d become entranced by Bourdain’s prose and palpable love affair with all things edible. By the end of that summer I’d neglected enough hot dog and popcorn making to finish Bourdain’s other works, The Nasty Bits and A Cook’s Tour, feeling a particular connection to the latter. There was something captivating about Bourdain’s ability to decenter himself from the travel narrative while still managing to convey so much of his own perspective. He got out of the way when depicting other cultures and people, touting and practicing epoché, an ancient Greek concept translating to “I am certain of nothing.” Yet readers could develop a familiarity with what seemed like his most intimate thoughts.

Sydney’s Best Set Menu Lunch Spots
Sydney is a paradise of delicious food, spectacular waterfront venues and pleasant weather- and its charm never fails to draw us in! With all the cosy winter vibes in the air and the warmer trails of spring slowly inching its way towards us, we’re trying to make the most of time spent outside. At mid-day, people are always on the lookout for climate-controlled, cosy restaurants to escape the cold and enjoy a warm and delicious meal. And we’ve got you covered (quite literally) with Sydney’s best lunch spots! What’s even better is that all these options have a prix fixe lunch menu which leaves you no room for pre-dining confusion.

A taste of sunshine
One of the things I love about travel is being able to immerse myself into a new culture. The people, the traditions, the celebrations and most of all...the food! Sampling the local cuisine in the country you travel to, or a new region in your own country, can be the best part of a holiday. New dishes, new flavours and a whole new experience.
