Justin and Ashleigh recently came back from a trip to New York, and they came back bearing gifts. We’d hoped for bigger, more expensive tokens of appreciation but they claim the Le Creuset they had picked out to match our eye colour was too heavy to bring through customs.
Instead they brought back with them a few items that gave us a great idea of what’s going on in the Big Apple as far as food and coffee go. The first one is pictured above, our friend Vicki who is design and packaging be*ok had told us about these guys and how they wrap their chocolate. It’s something to see in the flesh, really simple but great quality, a clear indication of the product and definitely how we like our food to be.
This postcard was from Stumptown Coffee Roasters in Redhook, Brooklyn and we really like the old look and the colours.
But our favourite was the menu Justin managed to hustle out of The Breslin. We’ve got it pegged up in the kitchen for ideas and has been a great source of inspiration for the upcoming Supper Club… Truth is we’ve just been stealing right off it, it’s that mega. Hopefully Capetonians will start getting into this kind of food so I’m not forced to give my leftover terrines to the crack house next door, they love it but it’s not doing us any good to educate crackhead’s palates.

Oh and there is one last thing that we thought we had to mention here, its a new invention from KFC and it’s the most fantastic thing we’ve ever seen. It’s called the Double Down and here it is…
