A book that became a movie that became “real life”

It seems now I have limited time to post things, yay! I still have to post about Melbourne because out of the three trips I’ve made, I haven’t posted a single one yet! Aaah! But that means going through pictures, editing/cropping, etc, which is such a pain.

So instead, I’ll post about other things that I don’t document nearly as frequently as I should – and that’s my dreams. Had a great one last night if I can remember all the details.

Alright. The big one of 2016 – Attica. Well, there was Noma too. It’s certainly been an action packed year so far! I was super excited to visit and had made sure to book just as the month of July became available for bookings.

Too bad Ben wasn’t there that week – he was instead in New York for the announcement of the San Pellegrino World’s 50 Best Restaurants. And once again, did very well! I’m so happy for him.

Sokyo omakase – take 2!

I have this thing for Sokyo and omakases. I like both! The sushi I have at Sokyo is always so good, I feel like sushi anywhere else just isn’t as good! There are of course exceptions (like Umi Kaiten Zushi and all those nice restaurants in Crows Nest), but this is the one I keep coming back to.

I didn’t actually plan to have two omakase sessions in a year, this visit was all due to circumstance – I just happened to be in Sydney, and a winter omakase tends to be more interesting than a summer one – however, I missed out on truffle season by a few weeks. So close yet so far!
