Forget Black Friday or the after-Christmas sales. The best deals to be had in Joburg are available all-year-round at Crazy Groceries in Strijdom Park.

Chez Fong, aka Su-yen Thornhill, is a chef and a performer. If you crack a seat at one of her dinners, you'll go home full and sore from laughing.

The Culinary Table is a restaurant and speciality food shop just down the road from Lanseria Airport. It's a great place to stop for lunch after a flight.

The Richmond Studio Café is a brand-new coffeeshop in Richmond, which is right next to Melville. I'm so excited about this place, I can barely stand it.

I spent half a day in Cullinan, a historic diamond-mining town northeast of Pretoria. I did pretty much everything except tour the diamond mine.

I was invited for lunch at the Kramerville Bakery, a bakery above a plumbing supply shop. It was so good that I had to go back for breakfast.

I spent an evening at the Stall Night Market at Cedar Square Mall in Fourways. Despite my initial judginess about night markets, I had a great time.

Hidden behind an imposing metal fence in an office park in Modderfontein, La Marina Foods sells the freshest fish in Johannesburg.

Andalousse is a tiny Moroccan joint hidden on a busy street in Woodstock. I rarely review Cape Town restaurants but this one deserves a shout-out.

Winnie's Tuckshop in Tembisa is the place to go for kotas: hollowed out loaves of bread filled with a variety of fattening South African foods.

Fordsburg is my favorite Joburg dining spot. But until two weeks ago, I didn't realize that Fordsburg's Solly's Corner serves Joburg's best fish and chips.

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