Thorsten and I were invited to try the jacaranda-season "Bubbles and Sweets" menu at Flames Restaurant in Westcliff. We loved it.

Rivonia, a suburb in Joburg's far-northern reaches, has become one of the best places in town -- if not the best place -- for pan-Asian food.

We spent a weekend in Kensington, a suburb on the east side of Joburg, at the Fishbird Villa. It was great to get away in our own city.

I recently discovered Bev's Burgers, a secret burger joint operating out of the kitchen at the Irish Club in Linden.

In honor of the Chinese New Year, I had a delightful lunch of dumplings, tea, and cake at Tea and Antique in Bedfordview.

In the next episode of my Hidden Joburg series I review the Radium Beer Hall, Joburg's oldest continually running bar.

Thorsten, Dee, and I went for Gatsby sandwiches at Continental Takeaways in Salt River, Cape Town. I was full for two days afterward.

My Italian-American friend Josef and his Croatian-American mother Caroline took me on a tour of Mediterranean food spots in Joburg East.
