Tops feeds in Sydney

[horrie hastings]

you’ll have to try pizza by pietro when you are down there next horrie, I think he used to be somewhere in Sydney before, now just does 3nights a week from a front lawn in south Nowra, the first time we went we were lucky, as he only had 4 dough balls left, I have missed out on his pear and custard calzone in my 4 visits, but his tiramisu made up for it.

Pizza by Pietro looks very interesting and i really liked the look of the sausage and Italian spinach pizza, in fact they all look good, it reminds me a bit of Renzo's, he used to work out of a food truck which would come to Tempe and it was so popular, he ended up opening a store in Tempe and it was very popular, great place for dine in then along came Covid, they continued doing take away then but cut the menu right down, pizza's were still very good though, then it eventually opened again for dine in but stuff like their beautiful mussel's in a tomato chilli sauce which they had pre covid were gone, they were great to share before having pizza, the place seemed flat even though the pizza's were still good but Renzo admitted the Covid period knocked the stuffing out of him and he was burnt out, he eventually closed up shop. Another pizza place has opened there called Lil Franky's, their pizza are good but the place is fully licensed so no BYO and their wines are $62 a bottle so does not make it a cheap night out.

Looks like he used to own Caracalla pizzeria in Burwood.

Won't say 'top feeds' (I dunno the full range of stuff) but places I frequent include:

- Dead Ringer and Arthur in Surry Hills... solid casual degustation with cocktails kinda stuff.

- The Balkan... needs no introduction and the owner (John?) is a mad Easts fan. I've seen him nick off, watch the game at Moore Park and then come back on multiple occasions. They always put on a MASSIVE feed.

- The kebab shop on the corner of Taylor Square that does those faaaaakin EPIC 3am pizzas using kebab meat. Picture SLICES of pizza the size of full family pizzas with shaved kebab meat piled high and BBQ sauce squirted everywhere in a generous spiral pattern. Leave it in the window for 2-3 days and it gets crunchy as too (plus the flavour of a solid weekend out).

- It's a cafe but Lumiere in Surry Hills. Faaaark their hotcakes (how do I describe them... pancakes but cooked up like donuts with THIIIICK as cream on top) are damn good. Also if you run 130km+ a week then you won't put on weight as they're an awesome form of carb loading. One of the waiters (MAYBE the owner) is frigging classic too. One of those ~60y/o gay dudes who looks like a brick layer (and is about as talkative as one - albeit with a Flacco-esque accent) but as soon as you see him walk you realise he's probably a drag queen or something. QUALITY service from him every time (very efficient/detailed with no bullshit) and the cafe treats are exquisite.

- Smoky (never been there) but what's that place that's reservation only? Le Salle Dining by Bar Chaplin. NFI why but it's by some Instagram chef I believe and it's setup like a private home (just a picture of a hat outside). Reservation only. Bit of a wanky style but I wanna try it out some time.

- Many more... many more. That's enough from me though. Oi and come to Canberra... I can do you a barbie.

Love.Fish down at Barangaroo is our fancy place when we want to celebrate something special with work friends. Really fresh, different twists on the menu too and great service.

Ism I don't know how long it's been since you've been to Sydney but the Balkan closed in 2019. A crying shame as I has been eating there since the 70's!

Yes it was a shame, been going there also for the same period of time, the schnitzels used to over lap the plate and the grilled calamari was just so good, back in the 80 s i used to love the chicken pieces being done on the grill, they stopped doing those, not sure why, maybe cooking chicken on the bone on the grill proved to difficult to double check if it was cooked right through. It was a constant to go for dinner on my birthday also. Also remember going there and ordering up big after the Roosters beat Brisbane in 2002 prelim final.

There ks as good Balkan food restaurant in KIng St Newtown near Alice Street. Called the European Grill. Has eveything the old Balkan had including caggage rolls (Sarma) and the delish shredded cabbage salad.

Always found the Australian expression "a feed" repulsive. Like the ubiquitous misuse of Participles , it is seriously grammatically incorrect. Similarly, "She seen..." or "He done it". Neither "seen" or "done" are verbs, each needs part of the verbs "to be" or "to have" to converrt them to verbs.

"Feed" ca n be a collective noun denoting different types of nutriment for animals ; it is also more often the verb "to feed". Neither are appropriate to the expression - "a good feed". It's a sort of One Nation expression - ignorant and unschooled.

2nd wife was crow. 13 years younger and hot as . Problem was that her dad wanted me dead cause I already had kids and was much older. Crow fathers are scary!

Lol Paddo, I suggest you start a grammar thread. It will be very popular!

I am in total agreement with you on this issue.

Got food poisining from the King St Newtown restaurant years ago so have never been back, had some meat on a platter and there was a chicken sort of rissole, it looked under cooked but i ate it and thought this is going to come back on me and it did, i was sick for a couple of days, i was the only one who had the chicken. A shame because they have rabbit and goat on the menu but i just wont go back on principal. the dragon lady who runs it could peel paint off the wall just by looking at it, she is very hard looking and it is scary seeing her when i walk past.

Strap on the Chaff bag

Oh yes. I object also to 'feed'..LOL..

Could one possibly change it to "Lovely places in Sydney to dine?"
