Thorsten and I recently stumbled upon King Arabic Sandwich -- a Palestinian restaurant that used to be in Mayfair -- in Roodepoort.

Westdene, like neighboring Brixton, is a super cool Joburg neighborhood with very few restaurants. So I was excited to hear about Emzini'.

Thorsten and I went to Mustardbox 713 to try Korean corn dogs for the first time. It was a culinary awakening for us both.

Thorsten and I spent two days at the De Hoop Nature reserve, near Cape Agulhas in the Western Cape. It was my second visit to De Hoop.

I've eaten a couple of meals at Syrian Rose, a new restaurant in Fordsburg. It's one of the best places in the city to eat outside.

I did a lot of wine tasting at the Noble Vice fest in Stellenbosch. I tried to do it intelligently...Did I succeed?

Thorsten and I journeyed to Fourways for dinner at Roasty's Roadhouse, which opened about a year ago. Roasty's was delightful.

Thorsten and I bought bagels from Bird's Bagels in Blairgowrie for breakfast on Sunday. The bagels were fantastic.

Last week I spent the night at Farmhouse@58, a chic accommodation spot just outside Joburg in the Cradle of Humankind.

I made a quick lunch run to Senhor Galo's, a brand-new roadhouse in an industrial section of Edenvale serving tasty Portuguese food.

Who knew Fordsburg has a dive bar? Archie's Pub & Grill, on the aptly named Lover's Walk, is one of Fordsburg's best kept secrets.

Pandemic dining is stressful, and sadly that's not going to change anytime soon. Here are 5 local places where I feel comfortable eating.
