About me
Born in England, moved to Iraq, moved back to England, wound up in Melbourne, keep going to New York. When not creating content for the Lonely Planet website, I love to write, drink black coffee and pat noble dogs outside bakeries. My quest to find a true, classic US-style mac cheese in Australia remains open.Recent activity

commented on how the other half lives... in Airplane food
When you automatically wince and squint in fear of those surprisingly tough drink lids giving way and launching the contents at you at point-blank range.

And I bet you had actual elbow room to eat instead of that kind of collapsed-foal thing you've got to do where you can only bend from the wrists down and you have to kind of rest your rock-hard bread roll on your chest and stab at it with a plastic knife to get the mock butter in.

commented on Easter fun! in Rockin' all over the world
Don't know if it's still running but Duckie at the Vauxhaul Tavern (cowering under an underpass) is one of my favourite London club nights - though hardly a club, more a shabby night out with a Lily Savage look-a-like...

commented on Melbourne's best live venue? in Rockin' all over the world
I'm liking the resurgence of Billboard in the city. Small and basementy and the sight lines are pretty good.

commented on Best band ever to come from San Francisco? in Rockin' all over the world
What about Black Rebel Motorcycle Club? Probably aren't going to blow the history books apart but worth a mention for the fuzzy guitar, right?

commented on Typical Western breakfast in Food in the morning
I love Jon Stewart,what kind of schizophrenic 'breakfast' is this?! It's like it's trying to be the popular breakfast kid or something... do you wash it down with a Bud?

Coffee - the only reason to get up in the morning
- and therefore the only reasonable place to go for the morning brew is Batch on Carlisle St in East St Kilda. Eye-wateringly strong, majestic black coffee. So good it even got a mention in a New York Times article researching why coffee was so good here in Australia.
