A quick review of my birthday evening at the Clico Boutique Hotel, including their six-course tasting menu and a night at the hotel.

On a quiet street in Lorentzville, Joburg's best pork is sold behind a sign declaring: "Bienvenidos a la Jamonopolis de Johanesburgo."

I went to the Cosmopolitan -- a beautifully restored historic building in Maboneng -- for a pedicure. I wound up staying the whole afternoon.

A quick review of Rosto, a new restaurant in Linden specializing in spit-roasted, free-range chicken and Italian-inspired street snacks.

Café Patisse recently moved from its industrial location in Wynberg to Emmarentia. No matter where you live in Joburg, these pastries are worth the drive.

The Food Junxion, a chicken tikka restaurant in Ntemi Peliso Street in downtown Johannesburg, is South African street food at its best.

It came as no surprise to me that Stellenbosch is the wine capital of South Africa. But there's a lot more to drinking wine than just...drinking wine.

Brixton is one of Joburg's most underrated neighborhoods, but until recently it has been lacking cool hangouts. The new Breezeblock cafe is changing that.

Stellenbosch may be the wine capital of South Africa, but there is plenty to do in Stellenbosch for non-wine-drinkers, too.

Besides having an amazing name, the Victorian Secret is housed in one of Benoni's most historic buildings and serves amazing pastries.

Autumn is a great time of year to visit Stellenbosch. I spent eight days there, and I loved the views every bit as much as a I loved the food and wine.

My review of Glory, a quirky new chicken restaurant on Melville's 7th Street. This restaurant is disorderly but delicious.
